Carrie covered in blood in Carrie
Stephen King's debut novel, Carrie, is one of my favorite stories by the horror author, yet I've always wished King expanded on one especially intriguing part of his book. Published in 1974, Carrie follows a teenage girl named Carrie who is bullied at school and faces abuse from her strictly religious mother. Yet, when Carrie discovers she has telekinetic powers, she is finally able to stand up for herself in the most intense way possible.
Carrie's Ending Sets Up An Intriguing Premise That's Never Delivered On How King's Formatting Implies A Larger Story Close At the end of Carrie, there is a section written by an outside observer who wonders if there are other adolescents with telekinetic powers. More than that, the narrator considers the fact that situations like Carrie's prom massacre could happen again, and it would be nearly impossible to track before it's too late.
In many ways, the entire set-up of the book insinuates a larger story at hand. King could have set the book solely from Carrie's perspective, or that of Carrie and Sue together. The same major plot points still would have occurred. However, by making it an epistolary novel set after the fact, it gives readers more distance from the story. Thus, they are better able to see the bigger picture. Carrie's abilities did not just affect her, but sent shockwaves through an entire town.
