Minister's Of Black Veil Alienation Analysis

The Alienation of the Black Veil Lessons can be taught by using a parable in a story, like Nathaniel Hawthorne he teaches that no one should judge another unless they have judge themselves.

Without the veil, Hooper would have been thought a typical clergymen, guilty of the typical sins of every human, but holier than most ( Source A, para.2).” The thoughts of comparing Mr. Hooper to typical clergymen with sins to every human, and holier than another’s, proves that the environment of the puritan society is just as cruel with ways thinking, and how the puritan society sees things. “ A person who wanted the interview between the dead and living, scrupled not to affirm, that, at the instant when the clergymen’s features were disclosed, the corpse had slightly shuddered, rustling the shroud and muslin cap, though the countenance retained the composure of death ( Pg. 3, para. 1).” Comparing the clergymen into having an interview with living, and the dead shows how hypocritic the puritan society
