A Boy who harrsened the wind

William's father, Trywell, is a strong man with a strong faith in God. Married to Agnes, Trywell demonstrates on many occasions that he is willing to face the magical forces that make other villagers cower in fear.

In the beginning of William's life, Trywell is a trader at the market, but his brother John encourages him to try farming, as it is much more profitable. Trywell eventually moves his family to a farm in Wimbe and farms crops such as tobacco. Throughout his life, he makes many sacrifices, both physical and monetary, for his children's future, and is generally a kind and brave man.

Agnes is the wife of Trywell and mother to William. She marries Trywell after seeing him often at the market, and is responsible for running the home, cooking, and taking care of the children. Throughout the book, she undergoes her own suffering, making nsima cakes to sell at market to keep their family going and catching malaria when her youngest child is mere months old. She is a brave and sensible figure in William's life.

I think that William inherits the best traits of both his parents.

Agnes, who often saw Trywell at the market before marrying him, is William’s mother and Trywell’s wife. She oversees the home, prepares food, and takes care of the children.

This passage shows that Trywell and Agnes are very strong parents who are always sacrificing for their family. Despite the many difficulties in life, they still try their best to give their children a better future, which is truly admirable.
