Stephen Kings Carrie

Those who think that Carrie was evil are completely wrong. Even her own mother, who was a religious fanatic, believed that Carrie was a product of sin and therefore should have been killed at birth. “You spawn of the Devil,” she whispered. “Why was I so cursed?” (King 56). She once wrote a letter to her own mother, whom she had left because she was living in sin, explaining that she was married and living “‘sinlessly, without the Curse of Intercourse.’” (King 60). “‘Devil’s child,’ she moaned. ‘Devil’s child, Satan spawn-’” (King 97). But Carrie was conceived later that year when Margaret, Carries mother, was rap

This is something that everyone should learn a little lesson from. Carrie was different from everyone else, but she would have been alright she was treated with respect, and none of what happened would have happened. It is highly unlikely that anyone will ever cause as much damage as Carrie did, but some of the things that has happened in schools over the last few years starting with Columbine, could have been avoided if those students were treated better. The book Carrie is fictitious, but it does have a good point to it. “Kings early novel Carrie is a study in the unresolved tensions that accompany the transition from adolescence to adulthood.” (Magistrale 45). The book “…examine(s) our concern about what happens to the outsider in high school.” (Russel 21). The lesson that we should learn from this book is that just because someone is a little different, that doesn’t mean that we can’t treat them just like everyone else. Carrie would have had her powers anyways, but with a little love in her life, she wouldn’t have used them to destroy. She could have eventually used her powers to make her life easier, or even to help others.

Of course someone brought up without knowing about these things would be innocent about their own sexuality. “It is, after all, Carrie White’s failure to understand her own sexuality that puts into motion the events which will eventually destroy both Carrie as well as the town that has tormented her.” (Magistrale 45). Just because a person is innocent, doesn’t mean that they will become a killer.
