In "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle, when Charles Wallace is under the influence of the man with the red eyes, he tells Meg that he is able to see things very clearly and understands everything. He tries to persuade her to submit to the control of the being, suggesting that they could achieve great things if they conform to the collective will of IT, the force representing conformity and control. Charles, under this influence, speaks with a sense of authority and confidence, which contrasts with the concerns Meg has about the loss of individuality and free will. This moment highlights the struggle between conformity and individuality, a central theme in the story.
