We've recently become addicted to latest PD James Dalgleish detective series. Bertie Carvel is a marvellous actor and you can't see a trace of the actor in the characters he plays.; he inhabits the roles he plays.
In the latest episode we watched, Dalgliesh was surprised from behind by a monk in a habit, scapular and cowl who had his cowl over his head. It struck me that a symbol of intense religiosity can simultaneously be seen as something extremely sinister.
This is especially the case where the face is hidden by the cowl and the feeling overcomes cone that there's something evil or incorporeal hidden within it.
