Alright - so Charles Dickens, by creating the character Ebeneezer Scrooge, gave the church in England a mirror with which to see how hideously deformed its visage had become.
So - can you think of a similar instance in which an author has done the same for the church here in America? I know it wasn't Orson Welles' conscious intent - but I think the character Charles Foster Kane - Citizen Kane - is a good nominee. The movie's autopsy of the blighted soul of one sold into slavery to the sole values of personal peace and affluency is powerful preaching indeed.
What do you say - other nominees?

The only one I could perhaps come up with, and it's only an assumption, would be Captain Ahab.
