The end of part one of the novel is deeply ominous, focusing on Billy’s perspective. While the plan he’s concocted on Chris’s behalf is not yet clear, his actions at the farm are violent and graphic, foreshadowing something much darker than the petty revenge that Chris has been thinking of. The return of the symbol of blood, which initially appeared during Carrie’s first period and began the chain of events that comprise the novel’s plot, further suggests that Billy’s plan will cause a volatile development in the story.
