CARRIE by STEPHEN KING | Plot & Themes | A Rap Study Guide
25In this episode of Lit-Hop Academy, MC Lars and Horris unpack the feminist paradox of Stephen King’s "Carrie". Is Carrie White reclaiming power through telekinetic rage, or is her suffering just shock value? We explore themes of bullying, religious fanaticism, female rage, and societal cruelty, examining how King blurs the line between empowerment and tragedy. From pop culture influence to real-world violence parallels, we ask: is "Carrie" a revenge fantasy or trauma on display? Plus, we feature a "Carrie"-inspired track with NemRaps. Watch the episode and join the discussion.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Stephen King’s "Carrie" is a chilling story of repression, bullying, and revenge in small-town Maine. It follows Carrie White, a shy, abused teenager with telekinetic powers, tormented by her fanatically religious mother and cruel classmates. When a humiliating prom prank pushes her to the edge, Carrie’s rage erupts with catastrophic consequences. Blending supernatural horror with themes of isolation and societal cruelty, "Carrie" explores the thin line between victimhood and vengeance.
