Carrie/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Delinquents]]: Her characterization in the book. It's stated that she's been sent to detention 73 times in four years, twenty of them for bullying, and that she skipped most of them. In addition, during [[Junior High]], she had once put a firecracker into a girl's shoe and nearly blew off two of her toes. The film adaptations largely downplay this to focus on her [[Alpha Bitch]] tendencies.

* [[It's All About Me]]

* [[Spoiled Brat]], [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: Her father, a rich lawyer, got her into Oberlin despite her poor grades, and threatens to sue the school if they punish Chris for what she did to Carrie in the shower. He backs off when he sees her record of violations. Later, after getting kicked out of the prom, she plans to humiliate Carrie as payback for it, feeling that she is entitled to go to the prom. She's so annoying you just want to squash her. {{spoiler|Thanks, Carrie!}}

* [[Tomboyish Name]]

* [[The Alleged Car]]: The original book has him driving a rusty, beat-up, jacked-in-the-back '61 Chevy Biscayne with a broken headlight. The film, fortunately, upgrades him to [[Cool Car|something much cooler]].

* {{spoiler|[[Asshole Victim]]}}

* [[Cool Car]]: In the '76 film, he drives a '67 Chevelle. {{spoiler|Shame that Carrie blows it up.}}

** He gets a Cool Truck in the remake. {{spoiler|It suffers a similar fate -- Carrie slams it against a tree, roof first.}}

* [[Jerkass]]

* [[Lack of Empathy]]: He barely knows who Carrie White is, he just wants to destroy her life. In the book, it's stated that he does the prom prank only [[For the Evulz]], and that he would find it just as funny if Chris was the target of the pig blood.
