πΆπππππ is a complex horror book that explores many themes; those that stand out most to me investigate and celebrate the βnaturalnessβ of female anatomy. It may be odd to phrase it this way, but parts of this book remind me a bit of the βWAPβ music video. Both texts celebrate female sexuality and anatomy (very differently, mind you.) I love how Carrieβs power stems from her womanhood. She is not powerful ππ π πππ‘π ππ the menstrual cycle, etc., but πππππ’π π ππ it.
Of course, this is all my opinion. Others could surely point to Carrieβs abilities as a way to fight against her motherβs violent/hyper-religion or, simply, as a way for Carrie to come into her own.
Thereβs a lot to say here. I guess I just really enjoyed this novel. Hope you do/did too!
