The Ministers Black Veil Symbolism - Nathaniel Hawthorne
Storyboard Text
- THE BLACK VEIL
- EXAMPLE
- The black veil covers almost all of Mr. Hooper's face. People fear the veil and what it means. The veil is a symbol of the sin that separates people from God and each other. Every person sins and is separated from perfection by the guilt and secrecy of their veiled sins. Hooper’s veil gave the Puritans a scapegoat to fear, rather than deal with their own inherent sinful natures.
