“The Minister’s Black Veil” by Nathaniel Hawthorne was an intriguing read. So far this short story has been the best story I’ve read compared to our other readings. On a random Sunday, Reverend Hooper was seen wearing a black veil that covered most of his face. Most of the villagers were shocked, scared, and very judgmental about his veil. Until death, Mr. Hooper never took off his veil, no matter how hard the villagers tried asking. What is interesting about this short story is that the black veil actually represents sin. Rather than keep his sin to himself, Mr. Hooper displays his sin in front of his face, to let his villagers know that he himself is a sinner.
