Magrat Garlick

Overview

In Witches Abroad, the older witches discuss Magrat Garlick’s wish to become more assertive. Nanny reports that she is running self-defence classes, though nobody attends them, while Granny’s reactions expose the limits of her patience with Magrat’s independence. The surrounding characterization presents Magrat as compassionate, anxious and eager to help vulnerable creatures.

By the opening of Carpe Jugulum, Magrat has married Lancre’s king and become queen. Agnes occupies her former cottage, while Nanny and Granny still discuss the marriage as if she has chosen a lesser calling. At the castle celebration, Nanny credits Magrat with graciously ensuring that everyone received an invitation.
