Mrs. McGregor is a major antagonist in two of Beatrix Potter's books. She is the wife of Mr. McGregor appearing in The Tale of Benjamin Bunny (as a minor antagonist), and The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies (as the secondary antagonist).

She also appeared in the books' television adaptations and briefly appears in the 2018 film adaptation as a minor antagonist.

History

Just like her husband, Mrs. McGregor owns a vegetable garden and dislikes pests trying to steal her vegetables, particularly rabbits. According to Peter Rabbit's mother, Mrs. McGregor put Peter's father into a pie. Peter disobeys his mother and trespasses into Mr. McGregor's garden. Peter is nearly captured by Mr. McGregor, but manages to escape, leaving behind his blue jacket and slippers which were made into a scarecrow.

In the Tale of Benjamin Bunny, Mrs. McGregor plays a very minor role. She is seen only a few times driving her horse and cart to town with her husband to town and returning to their garden after Peter and Benjamin get Peter's clothes.

In The Flopsy Bunnies, Mrs. McGregor sent her husband out to bring her six rabbits over to her so she can cook them. However, when he brings the bag over, he was unaware that Flopsy's children were replaced by rotten vegetables, and this angers his wife, resulting both of them into a nasty argument.

2018 film

Mrs. McGregor appeared only briefly in the beginning of the 2018 movie, where she cooked up a pie made out of the flesh of Peter's father after Mr. McGregor killed him, an act that left a young Peter and his family distraught. It is unknown what happened to Mrs. McGregor after her husband died succumbing to a heart attack, though she likely gave the house to her nephew Thomas McGregor afterwards.
