One example of the villagers judging Mr. Hooper can be seen when a woman says “‘I don't like it,’ muttered an old woman, as she hobbled into the meeting-house. ‘He has changed himself into something awful, only by hiding his face.’” (Hawthrone Pg2). Essentially this shows the change of appearance on Mr. Hooper caused the woman to judge him, just based on the way he looked. This issue is further seen when another man does not accept that Mr. Hooper is the one under the veil he is wearing. For instance a sexton says “"I can't really feel as if good Mr. Hooper's face was behind that piece of crape,’”(Hawthrone Pg2). This proves that what he is wearing is causing others to feel a different way about him just by looking at him. As a whole we can see that appearance is used to influence the way people see
