Mr. Murry is a brilliant scientist and the father of Meg and Charles Wallace. He has been missing for much of the book’s plot, but he is ultimately found by his children and their friends.
Mr. Murry’s presence is felt throughout the novel, even though he physically appears later in the story. A brilliant physicist whose experiment with the tesseract goes awry, he becomes trapped on Camazotz. His absence weighs heavily on his family, particularly Meg, and his eventual rescue illustrates the power of love and family bonds. He also represents the human curiosity for exploration, even at potential risks.
