Aziz Mavlonov , a graduate student of Asia International UniversityAbstract
This article analyzes A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle, emphasizing its fusion of science fiction and fantasy to explore themes of self-discovery. The protagonist, Meg Murry, embarks on an interdimensional journey that mirrors her internal struggles, learning to embrace individuality and overcome self-doubt. The article investigates that the concept of the tesseract serves as both a scientific mechanism and a metaphor for Meg’s growth.
