Carrie Explained: Trauma, Feminism, and the Power of Rage

"Carrie" isn’t just a horror classic—it’s a powerful narrative about trauma, feminine rage, and the devastating cost of oppression. In this video, I explore how Stephen King’s novel and Brian De Palma’s adaptation tackle themes of generational trauma, religious extremism, and societal neglect. From Carrie’s telekinesis as a metaphor for repressed fury to the destructive cycle of abuse, this feminist analysis uncovers the deeper meanings behind the story. Join me as I dive into the roles of key characters like Sue, Chris, and Margaret White, and discuss how Carrie reflects the struggles of marginalized voices today. This video is part of my Feminist Rage series, where I analyze media through a feminist lens, uncovering how stories of anger and rebellion challenge the status quo. Let’s talk about why Carrie still resonates—and what it can teach us about rage, empowerment, and justice in a world that too often ignores the voices of the oppressed.
