It's a somewhat subtle point, but I would object to characterizations in this article that Harry Powell is "masquerading" as a preacher, or pretending to be a preacher. It's a significant point of the character that he is in fact a man of God - at least in his own twisted mind. He might not be wanting to tell people what else he does, but he has himself thinking that he's doing the Lord's work. Not just Harry Powell but THE LORD hates those perfume smelling things.4.89.130.49 18:36, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I replaced "masquerades" with "presents himself" as it seems more NPOV. Doctormatt 19:37, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
