Answer:
The minister's black veil in lines 101-136 reveals his individuality when his courtesy was paid with 'strange and bewildered looks.'
Explanation:
"The Minister's Black Veil" is a short story written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The story is about a minister named 'Mr. Hooper.'
The story is about human nature, sin, and guilt. In the story, Nathaniel has portrayed Mr. Hooper as a sole individual, the one who is ready to accept the truth.
In lines 101-136, when Mr. Hooper comes out after the service, the congregation began to shake their 'sagacious heads', some began to profane the Sabbath day with their 'ostentatious laughter.' But when Mr. Hooper came out he greeted everyone as he used to do every Sunday after service, bless little ones, etc. The individuality of Mr. Hooper can be seen here when he was paid back with 'strange and bewildered looks' for his civility, he was neglected an invitation on dinner, when no one wanted to walk beside the Minister as an honor.
