Carrie White is the titular character of the first ever Stephen King novel, a high school story of a teenage girl with telekinetic abilities and the struggles that come with it. In this video I'll be going through the entire chronological life of Carrie White, including the details of her relationship with her mother. I'll also be doing a complete breakdown and analysis of her character.
This will cover the entire known history of Carrie from her birth to her story's end. Please note that this will only analyze her character as written in the book. I will show clips from the movies as a visual aid, but for the purposes of Horror History, the book is canon!

About Carrie
At the center of the terror is Carrie (Spacek), a high school loner with no confidence, no friends... and no idea about the extent of her secret powers of telekinesis. But when her psychotic mother and classmates finally go too far, the once-shy teen becomes an unrestrained, vengeance-seeking powerhouse who, with the help of her "special gift," causes all heck to break loose in a famed cinematic frenzy of fire and brimstone!

I love how you tell the story. I want to add that other reason for Carrie being bullied in school in the book, is that her mother made her eat stuff that gave her pimples and made her gain weight, in an attempt to make Carry look less "pretty" and "drive her away from sin". Is so heartbreaking that she endured abuse from her mother and her classmates.

I think a big part of her mother’s abuse comes from her husband apparently raping her. (I think so please don’t take my word on this). Doesn’t excuse it but definitely added to her already unhinged mental state

After accepting Tommy's prom invitation Carrie had newfound enlightenment and independence from her mother. She wouldn't eat her "apple cake" because it "gave her pimples." She told Mom she was going to the prom and "things are going to change." This was all ruined by the chaos that ensued at the prom.

Carrie was a victim turned villain. She went through hell at home and school. I absolutely believe that Margaret White was sexually abused as a girl and led to her mental breakdown and warped her view of sex. I also believe she wanted revenge on the town (especially the Cavalier) for their sins, so abused Carrie to snap and become the "angel with a sword of fire" going though the town cutting down the sinners (referenced in the book).

Which actually worked we had our own small group of people who didn't seem to fit in - some people came, some left not everyone was best friends with everyone but it gave us all some sense of safety because we were not alone when someone started to pick on one of us and we had each other.

yeah this is why we should focus more on the mental health and bully issues. You cannot stop school shootings or public shootings, that is a fact if you are living in America.

Honestly what makes me concerned is that Carrie’s mom is not the only mom who thinks puberty or sex is “ungodly”.

I think the happiest part of Carrie is at the end. It was a separate correspondence from a Tennessee mother to her sister in Georgia, years after the events of the main story. It talks about how the writer was the mother of a backwoods family, alongside a father present with her other 2 sons. The letter talks about a little girl who is laughing happily as she play with marbles. But she isn't touching them... It's implied that this is Carrie White reborn and living a happy life. She finally is living a life with a happy family, without any implied religious activity, with friends in her brothers and both parents as a complete family. I think that's possibly one of the happiest endings in a Stephen King story, and I am happy that in the end, Carrie got to be happy.

[@theangelproductions]

It really is a beautiful ending. It's ironic that some people act like Carrie is a villainous character when the message of the story, which was stated outright by Sue, is that she wasn't born a monster, she was turned into a destructive force because of the abuse and neglect inflicted on her. When she's reborn, she was finally allowed to be her true self because she has family who she can rely on in times of stress rather than using her power for vengeance.

[@kyotogc2450]

I'm so glad you mentioned this! I have watched several videos on this and no one else seems to be bringing that up. I loved that for her so much and after watching all of the heartache from her first life, it leaves you feeling so satisfied and relieved to know she finally got a happy ending.

[@Princess.Niyaa1]

I relate to Carrie because I was bullied for wearing leg braces at school, because I was born with cerebral palsy. What makes my story even sadder is that I was bullied by my own sister and she was ashamed of me because she didn't want people to know that I was her sister with a disability and because of my personality, because she doesn't know that I suffered from MPD (multiple personality disorder). I was bullied to the point where I tried to take my own life when I was 13. I was going through a lot ever since I was 5 years old and the bullying made my trauma really worse. I never thought I would ever be happy but because of my friend, I finally got what I wanted after a long time, true happiness

[@theangelproductions]

It's actually the same case in the book. She's more lucid, but she's still not necessarily in control. She temporarily lost her sanity and thus lost control of her powers. Also it's implied that the more she uses the power, the more her mental state deteriorates because it physically effects the body.

[@Lesley_RedRhody]

@@theangelproductions You know how Disney feels like it has to give some of its villains a tragic backstory in these dumb-ass remakes? Before I answer that, let me derail my own train of thought by saying that I’ve never thought of Carrie White as a villain. That said, I can’t stand when an actual villain’s motives are retconned by some type of past scorn (i.e. Malificent). This is why, as someone who’s read the book and seen what I consider to be *THE ONLY* film adaptation of Carrie (1976) multiple times, Carrie has never felt like a villain. She’s the victim. Director Brian De Palma and Producer/Screenwriter Lawrence D. Cohen described Carrie’s decent into madness as “tipping over,” as the bucket of pigs blood fell on her. This was what her mother had threatened would happen. After a literal lifetime of abuse from just about everyone around her… Well, to paraphrase the novel: They had finally given her the shower that they wanted. I know not everyone in the gym (film) was guilty, nor was everyone in town (novel). In both cases she just seemed unhinged. More than understandably so. Up until this point (with the exception of the stones in the novel, Carrie’s Telekinesis was executed by short bursts of rage. At the prom, having been ultimately and grotesquely humiliated, Carrie delivered her vengeance in a state of numbness. Which is also, in my opinion, why the ridiculous Jedi Force movement crap in the 2013 reboot fails miserably.

I have thought about this myself. If Carrie didn't have TK, Tommy would still have died and Chris and Billy would have been exposed as the monsters they were. And Carrie's life might actually have improved. Carrie was a victim of her own TK as much as the rest of the people were.

[@Listening_Books12345]

I know the prom dress is actually red in the book, and I get what it does symbolically, but I think I prefer the idea that Carrie's dress isn't actually red; maybe not pink, but a shade of red that isn't as fire-engine obvious. But her mom is so crazy she can't see the nuance, she only sees it as a red dress and all the evil she sees in Carrie. The point is that Carrie's mother was never right about her. Carrie wasn't a monster, her mom tormented her into resembling one. So the dress is close to red, Carrie is acknowledging her own independence and womanhood, but it isn't the bright, burning red of Satan like her mother insists it is, because Carrie's intentions are genuinely good to begin with, and nothing like what her mother assumes of her. Edit: no one is gonna read this anyway, but it occurred to me that might be why DePalma first chose to make the dress pink: considered nowadays a soft and feminine color, but still innocent. It isn't until the pig blood hits her that Carrie's dress is actually "red" like her mother earlier insisted. It's like a visual cue that Carrie really was innocent with harmless intentions (pink) but the nonstop abuse from every corner of her community drove her to violence (red). It helps drive home the fact that other people made Carrie this way.

It’s no wonder she killed her mom and classmates, because they all abused her except for Tommy and Susie that one time. And you could see she did feel remorse once she killed them, she just didn’t know what to do. :(

Carrie was always a story that I related heavily to as a teenager, growing up gay in the late-2000s with overly religious parents in a small town filled with homophobes. Even though the situation wasn't exactly the same, I felt a connection to the narrative that Stephen King gave Carrie. I always viewed the story as a cautionary tale of what not to do in the face of adversity and oppression because fighting fire with fire could burn you just as easily as it could burn those who hurt you. I truly believe that I became a stronger person, at least in part, because of the novel and it will always hold a special place in my heart as a result.

[@SpaghettiYOLOKing]

Vengeance is born from negativity. It offers no closure and often the person exacting the revenge is left in an even worse mental state because they either are appalled at what they did or they get an intense enjoyment from it, which is a slippery slope. Either way, vengeance creates a violent loop where those wronged are constantly going out for their pound of flesh. That's not justice. People that think it's justice aren't fully grasping the concept of it and probably have watched too many movies where vengeance is glorified and you never get to see any of the aftermath on the protagonist or the protagonist unrealistically never suffers any consequences. Were the bullies in Carrie terrible? Yes, immensely. Did they deserve what they got? No. Death for bullying? What about the people that never bullied Carrie at all? Did they deserve their death? No. Did Carrie deserve everything that was constantly flung at her by those that tormented her. Of course not. Does that mean Carrie should be condemned? I'd also say no. The end result is basically one where the main players in the situation are the ones at fault. Carrie's mother, first and foremost. If there was anybody in this story that got what they deserved, it was her. She was a lost cause by this point in her life and was such a poor mother that she inadvertently, through her own madness, created the situation between her own daughter and the bullies, which led to many deaths and the destruction of the town. The bullies are at fault as they intentionally targeted Carrie constantly and despite many warnings, never stopped. They lacked empathy, which is a common thing in teenagers when they're obsessed with popularity and high school hierarchy. And lastly, Carrie was at fault, but only during her rampage. It's hard to fully blame her in that moment as after everything she's suffered, her mind simply snapped. But she punished everyone, not just the guilty. How anyone could call that rampage justice is beyond me. Carrie was a sweet innocent girl that by the end was molded into a cold, heartless, and dangerous monster. She didn't deserve that, nor did anybody at that prom deserve death. Her mother was the source of everything, but her comeuppance came with s severe price.

I always appreciated this book, more than all others King wrote. I grew up with a mom like this, and no dad, so it was relatable...except for the telekinesis part lol.

Sadly, he was inspired by people from his childhood, meaning that my childhood experience was far more common than it ever should be.

Carrie's the all-time hero for so many of us who have been bullied by the POS example bully types in this movie. There's no reason necessary to ever mistreat or disrespect another human being and if every single person thought that way, there wouldn't be any kids growing up thinking it's Ok because their parents(not all but way too many)already knowing on how to behave decent wouldn't be raising them like that? Ignorance is a learned and taught because we are not like that when we first enter this world. I must admit that I had the giggles all day after Professor CZ said "that little f*cker got air yeeted off his bike" LMAO PS - Carrie's mother should've had CPS called her! Religious ppl need to also realize that maybe so many ppl wouldn't despise GOD, if they didn't give that grave image of him as some big manipulator hanging out in Heaven ready to damn human beings at the drop of a hat?

I've always loved this story, it personally speaks to me as I relate to the main character very closely, sadly.

One important point about them all laughing at her when the blood falls is it's hysterical laughter. One of the surviving girls says something like, "it was so awful you had to either laugh or cry, and who could bring themselves to cry for Carrie White". The way it comes across in the book is that it's not so much everyone thinks it's funny, they're just all completely shocked and it devolves into hysterics, which obviously Carrie only sees as them laughing at her.

I think the saddest part of Carries story is that we. The people reading or watching. Probably wouldn’t have tried to help this poor girl. As adults we might like to think of ourselves as the better person, trying to offer compassion to a girl I need. But if we all look back to what our own school experiences, we would have let it happen. A lot of us may have already been bullied or teased. We knew what it felt like.

I can imagine that growing up being unable to socialize with people properly, not having a decent parent to teach you good values and not having good friends to encourage and support you to be the best version of yourself, would lead any person to struggle the way Carrie did.

She wants her momma when she dies. She kills Margaret because she wants to fend herself from further attack. The whole fact that Carrie ‘loses her humanity’ doesn’t happen. Carrie isn’t a villain Stephen King said that he never wrote her as a villain when caused her destruction yes she does it without humanity but she still has it. She just takes it out of the equation. I mean she could have kill her mother by crucifying her but she chose to spare her the pain and she stopped her heart. And until her period Carrie was never consciously in control of her powers. Her period was her traumatic experience that set off the ability to consciously control the power. And Margaret knew about the power. That’s why she was scared when she got her period because she was afraid of what might happen and if the power would come back. She was aware of the power through the fact of her grandmother who also had these powers.

When I was in school, there was this extremely religious girl who came to our school from a different one, she was weird, in the sort of aura sense that she exuded, and very jumpy around us. I saw her sitting by herself, praying before she ate. We live in an area with baptists and religious folk so it didn’t look odd to anyone, some of us did the same thing. I went to sit with her when some of the people I sat with said they tried but she made it a point that she didn’t want anyone to sit with her. I sat near her and asked her how her day was, a simple “hi, how you doin?”, and she jumped like ten feet in the air she got so startled. I asked if I scared her, and she said “I don’t like people, go away.” I told her sorry and walked away. Nobody bothered her as much as we could manage, of course we still tried to speak to her, and we all tried to invite her to sit with us, but she always slumped in on herself before slinking away to her lonely table. I got concerned and asked a few teachers who had lunch duty with us to keep an eye on her because she was kinda scaring us. She would look so pitiful and miserable but the moment people tried to make an effort and offer her friendship, she pushed it away and seemed to turn her nose up at us, starting over by looking miserable. I saw her reading Carrie in the library, we didn’t have that book since this was a middle/high school and those books were too graphic, so I knew it came from home. My mom is a Stephan King buff and I asked her what the book was about. She told me and I noted that the book looked worn out and seemed to match how the girl was behaving to a T. Isolation, loneliness, and inability to connect to others. The only difference being she seemed to want to be alone and wallow in self pity of some kind. A couple of years later, after everyone stopped trying to make an effort because she didn’t want it, we heard that she had been planning to cause a school shooting after posting some things on insta and Snapchat. None of us had those but her cousin, who had come to the school after her, said that she was mentally not there and idolized Carrie. Presumably, she wanted to make herself seem alone and isolated so she could justify herself in her attempt to hurt us. We all were shaken up and when someone new came, we tried to joke and ask them to not read Carrie. We got lucky it didn’t happen again before we, my class, graduated. All this to say, I feel bad for Carrie because she didn’t deserve anything that happened to her, but this girl had twisted that a bit to suit her own needs.
