Mrs. Macready

Mrs. Macready is very proud of her position as Professor [[Digory Kirke|Kirke]]'s housekeeper, and perhaps even more proud of the fine old house. She serves in the story primarily as a reason for the Pevensies to enter the wardrobe again, but also as a hostile influence indicative of the children's unstable world. Her stern personality drives the children to hide in the wardrobe to escape her displeasure. The interesting thing is that Mrs. Macready never learns of the role she plays in getting the Pevensies to Narnia. As far as she knew, she was simply giving another tour of the old house and telling the visitors all the things she knew.
