Answer 1

In "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle, Charles Wallace allows the man with the red eyes into his mind primarily because he believes it is the only way to learn what the man really is and to find Mr. Murry. This decision reflects Charles's desire to understand the situation fully and to confront the danger posed by the man. Additionally, he feels a sense of confidence in his intellect and mental ability, which may also play a role in his choice to engage with the man in this way.
