Quote #10
"At first it was all right. We lived sinlessly. We slept in the same bed, belly to belly sometimes, and o, I could feel the presence of the Serpent, but we. never. did. until. […] He… touched me. In that place. That woman place." (2.766)
Okay, there's a lot going on here. First, by Serpent, Momma means "man place" (you know, to go in her woman place). And by referring to her husband's penis as a serpent, she's making herself into a figurative Eve. So by having sex with him, she believes she committed the Original Sin. And guess what lucky girl gets to be the product of that sin? Poor little Carrie.
Quote #11
CARRIE WHITE IS BURNING FOR HER SINS. JESUS NEVER FAILS. (3.17)
This is some graffiti painted on the lot where Carrie's house once stood. Seems like people are angry about her whole rampage, huh? The ironic thing is that Carrie probably believes the people of Chamberlain burned for their sins—when she took 'em all out with her telekinetic wrath. That's the problem with binning people into "evil" and "good" categories, isn't it? There's at least one person out there that thinks each of us is "evil," and at least one person that thinks each of us is "good."
