    There are negative, neutral, and positive connotations of the black veil. There are multiple references to it throughout the story. In my opinion, the connotations of the veil were negative in the beginning. An example of a negative connotation is on lines 40-41, “I can’t really feel as if good Mr. Hooper’s face was behind that piece of crape.” In other words, Mr. Hooper had not changed one thing about himself other than adding the black veil to his appearance.…

    The most striking thing about this well-known passage is the fact that this was the first time a word had been given to describe how African Americans felt in America; always thinking with a double consciousness because of the Eurocentric society that surrounded them. DuBois described how, even from his boyhood, he had been thrust into a realm of how he saw himself and how white society perceived him. Being judged, punished, and ridiculed by white America could have broken DuBois, but it made him realize his true potential. In the forethought DuBois talked about having “come to the central problem of training men for life” (v), the disparity between two worlds and the “Veil” which separates them.

    In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s, “The Minister’s Black Veil,” there is an apparent message sent throughout the text: Secret sin of any one person has the ability to eat away at him or her, causing an overwhelming sense of guilt that can control and overtake his or her life; but can also become a necessary evil and a positive good at the same time. The image of secret sin that captivates Parson Hooper isolates his relationships from his congregation, Elizabeth, and God. In “The Minster’s Black Veil,” Parson Hooper wears his black veil to represent his own private sin, in hopes of receiving some form of spiritual forgiveness. Parson Hooper’s reason for covering his face with the veil is not disclosed in the story. There are many theories as to why,…
