King’s Carrie

One of the most fascinating thins about King’s Carrie is that, through its epistolary structure and polyvocal form, the author forces readers to come to their own conclusions about the titular character.
So…who (or what) is Carrie? Is she a victim? A villain? An anti-heroine? A divine punishment for the inhabitants of Chamberlain? All of these? Something else?
Make an argument for how readers should interpret the protagonist of the novel. Why do you feel the way you do about Carrie—and why should we listen to you? BE sure to provide textual support from the text and include proper MLA citations.
