* KarmaHoudini: IT gets away scot-free. Not so in the movie.
**  Then again, the TV movie has [[spoiler:Meg free an ''entire planet'' from brain-washing by making one awkward, rambling speech.]] Talk about an AntiClimax.
** You sure IT's still okay? The book never specifies what happened to IT.
** Later books imply that IT and the other "forces of evil" out there have not ''escaped'' their karma per se; they will get what's coming to them as soon as one of the "good guys" gets around to gathering enough strength to fight them off. Which makes the entire climax of the book into something of a HopelessBossFight.
** It is intended to be rather real world, as if he was captured by a Earth nation run by a dictator, the battle between good and evil continues on after the story. In RealLife dictators sometimes get away and sometimes don't.
** In general, the plot of escape from the evil land or rescue someone from the evil land leaves the evil land and its evil rulers intact.
** The book used the phrase "IT's fatal mistake" to refer to the taunt that inspired Meg's winning strategy, and the text seemed to describe Meg and Charles Wallace being whisked out of there just ahead of an explosion. I don't think IT survived. No telling what that means for the people of Camazotz.
*** I always read "IT's fatal mistake" as a metaphor, indicating that IT clued Meg into the tactic. The text seemed to vividly indicate anger and the effects as Meg and Charles were tessered out through the Black Thing.

These are things which make sense within the context of the work. More importantly, it's referring to A Wind In The Door, which has its own page.

Zero Context Example. There is nothing maidenly about the Mrs Whatsit. She's first described as very old woman wrapped in layers of clothes. Mrs Which is the oldest and wisest but she is far from bitter. She's the leader of the group.
