Notes

"Carrie" by Stephen King explores themes of isolation, power, and revenge within the context of adolescence and religious fanaticism. The titular character, Carrie White, is a shy and bullied teenager who discovers she has telekinetic abilities. As she struggles with her oppressive mother and torment from her peers, Carrie's powers manifest in destructive ways, leading to a devastating prom night climax. King masterfully intertwines horror with psychological depth, crafting a gripping narrative that delves into the complexities of human nature and the consequences of unchecked cruelty.
