I think that the author wrote about Charles Wallace character not only to make readers perceive him but also to show how the youngest can be the wise. As you said in your post, Charles Wallace acts for mature and is very smart then his average age.
Another theme of this book is good versus evil. Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace went on a dangerous journey to find Meg and Charles Wallace farther who is prisoned by The Dark Thing. Not only will they encounter the evil The Dark Thing but they will also encounter the IT and the Red Eye Man who are all evil. They had to fight these evil people or things to bring home Meg and Charles Wallace Farther since he has been gone for years. Throughout the book, Meg faced evil and face even more dangerous evil on her life or death journey to save her farther with Charles Wallace and Calvin. The guy with the red eyes appears “in horrified fascination…His eyes were bright and had a reddish glow. Above his head was a light, and it glowed in the same manner as the eyes, pulsing, throbbing, in steady rhythm. (134)” That seems to make you pretty evil you have red eyes. And that the fact he can hypnotize you to fall under his control and IT.
The last theme that I could find that we hasn’t been mention or declared as a theme is love and that love can conquer anything. Towards the end of the book, Meg used love to save her younger brother Charles Wallace from IT and The Dark Thing. Just overall, it is what love that won the battle against darkness. And it was bring happiness into Meg’s life again after being filled with hatred. It is what love that brings her and family back together after rescuing her farther, saving her from being filled with hatred.
