In the little part at the end that the mother sings after Carrie is locked away....she says "oh lord I've seen this power before, the flesh is weak and I implore...."
Where did she see the power before? Isn't that scene (the closing of the windows) the first time the power is used?
I assumed she is talking about the power of desire. Margaret herself succumbed to the sins of the flesh. Now that Carrie is a woman Margaret knows all too well the path Carrie could head down.

No, she's definitely talking about Carrie's period. The "seed" is, well, the egg, and now that Carrie can have kids she's vulnerable to the power of desire. Not strange that Margaret should fear it, since her only sexual desires led to rape.
Well sperm is often referred to as "seed", not eggs, so it could also mean that now Carrie is a woman, she may desire men, sex and "seed".

oops I just figured out this isn't the scene with the windows.....that is another song....this is after the gym teacher calls and tells the mother about the shower incident....
While we're on the topic of lyrics from Carrie, am I the only one bothered by a plot hole in them? Carrie says in the title song "Momma says suffering is good for the soul," meanwhile Margaret states "I would rather die than see you suffer," in Evening Prayers. Yes, it's stupid to notice, but it's always kind of bothered me.

You didn't know about that? Didn't Linzi sing Carrie that night too? It was left off Betty's album due to the orchestra being pretty off in some sections but bootlegs have been floating around.

CJ, I don't think that's a plothole. Margaret SAYS she'd rather die than see Carrie suffer, but has no problem knifing her to death. She loves Carrie, but she knows what will hurt her and does not shy away from doing it if she thinks it's God's will.
