Added DiffLines:

* EvilDesiresInnocence: Psychopathic MadScientist Dr Arthur Arden is drawn to the naive and sweet-natured Sister Mary Eunice, not only trusting her with his secrets but playfully offering her a candy apple, taking great delight in watching her struggling with the temptation to have a bite. By contrast, when Mary is possessed by the Devil and tries to seduce Arden, he's repulsed, bringing his MadonnaWhoreComplex to light. As the possessed Mary becomes more openly villainous, Arden only grows more despairing and more fearful of her - to the point that he's reduced to Mary's slave in all but name.
-->'''Arden:''' I admired her purity. Her innocence. I never had any, even as a boy. Now it's gone. It's been taken from her.

trope is about colorism IU


* ButNotTooBlack: Alma Walker. Ironic considering she and her husband has to hide their mixed race relationship when she's not much darker than him, and the actress herself is biracial.
