Quote #10
She sighed again, more genuinely this time, and tuned back to the mirror. "Well… he's a preacher. And if Deborah's right, he ain't got no right to be a preacher. He ain't no better'n nobody else. In fact, he ain't no better than a murderer." (2.1.132)
Florence seems to believe that preachers must be held to higher standards than the rest of the people in order to have religious authority. She says that her brother isn't better than anyone else, as though if he were, he would have the right to be a preacher. She is offended by his use of religion to seem better than others, when he's really just as weak as everybody else.
