Some people are like "wHaT's ThE pOiNt oF rEmAKiNg CaRriE" I, for one, think it's great that the remakes take out all the time De Palma spent hypersexualizing teenage characters & instead used that time to give the main character a personality beyond being a victim from start to finish

#I love 1976 Carrie but the male gaze is so omnipresent and there isn't much character development #I would've liked to see her personality and interests #like 2002 and 2013 Carrie were both interested in theology and reclaiming their relationship with God #Carrie by Stephen King #Carrie White #Carrie #Carrie 2013 #Carrie 2002

Happy Halloween season! Here's another stab at my own take of Carrie White, based on her book description. I'm super happy with how these turned out! I'd love to tackle some of the other characters in the book eventually, especially Margaret!

EDIT:

Now available as an art print here!

I don't care if she commits atrocities, bro, she's justified by the narrative

It is clearly no mere coincidence that the awakening of Carrie's psychic abilities is tied to the onset of her first period: Menstruation and telekinesis are both referred to by an uncomprehending society as "the curse," and it is patriarchal society's very attempt to repress the power of female sexuality, to keep the blood hidden, that causes the defiant eruption of Carrie's paranormal powers. In Carrie, the supernatural rises to assert the inevitability of natural female forces that society has tried to deny. If Carrie's power is a "curse," it is one society has brought upon itself.

The fantastic elements in the book are thus an integral part of its social commentary: The metaphysical power of mind over matter is the only channel of force open to Carrie in a society in which men have monopolized all the physically active roles. As King explains, Carrie is "Woman, feeling her powers for the first time and, like Samson, pulling down the temple on everyone in sight at the end of the book" (Danse Macabre, 170). At crucial moments in the novel...King compares Carrie's psychic powers to the force of a nuclear bomb, suggesting that natural energy (female or atomic) will inevitably backfire on society if that energy is directed toward misogyny or war. King likens society's oppression of Carrie to a "chain reaction approaching critical mass": the explosion of Carrie's feminist rage. Nature has her laws and will not be denied.
