Stephen Kings novel "Carrie" tells about a telekinetic girl who has been bullied by everyone all her life and finally gets her revenge.
At the beginning of the story, the main character Carrie White is seventeen years old. ... Carrie has telekinetic power which she once made stones fall like rain with when she was four years old. ...
As Carrie is at the age of seventeen, she gets her first menstruational period after a gym lesson while showering with the other girls in her class, not knowing why she is bleeding at all. ... One girl, Susan, thinks she ows Carrie even more and asks her boyfriend Tommy to take Carrie to the prom ball to help her into society. He agrees, and Carrie decides to accept his offer, acting against her mothers will for the first time in her life.
Carrie is really happy at the prom ball, even more as she and Tommy are voted queen and king of the ball. ... Tommy is killed by one of the buckets, while Carrie escapes and tries to get home. ...
In the end, Carrie returns home, kills her mother who hits her with a knife, leaves the house again and dies getting to know that she has killed a lot of innocent people. ... These are excerpts from different other books and newspapers, both about Carrie herself, her towns destruction and telekinesis in general. ...
In this way, we get to know Carrie pretty well, also as other people see her. ... Carrie herself is influenced by her childhood, her mothers religious affliction and her own telekinetic power.
The reader is told that Carrie has always been an unwanted child. ... Anyway, she became pregnant twice, and after one abortion, the second child, Carrie, survived. ... She tries to kill Carrie several times, but never succeeds. ... All those experiences make Carrie a strongly religious girl who is afraid of sin, God and her mother, representing higher instances for her.
Actually Carrie doesnt just have to atone for her own sins. ... Margaret forces Carrie to stay in her closet over long periods for things she cant do anything about. ...
Of course, Carrie doesnt live sinlessly either, but this wouldnt normally be a reason to treat her like Margaret does.
