About Carrie, the book

[lomawood]

Hi! I'm reading Carrie again, and I found something really weird.


"[...] Carrie had not even been a year old. Margaret had gone into her bedroom not four weeks after Gram's funeral and there her girl-child had lain in her crib, laughing and gurgling, watching a bottle that was dangling in thin air over her head.
Margaret had almost killed her then. Ralph had stopped her.
She should not have let him stop her."

Wasn't he dead?????

I just finished reading it too for the first time. My husband just found the book 4 days ago.

You're right Ralph was dead. I didn't catch that though.:biggrin2: The only answer I can think of is maybe Margaret was hallucinating. She seems to always be in a perpetual state of religious frenzy even when she's calm. Anything can set her off. Just my thoughts.

But of course the best person to answer this is the author himself.:smile2:

Yeah... I thought something like that too. :laugh:

Had to admit I never noticed that one before. Funny, ain't it?

I only noticed the second time I read.
