Answer:

1. Elisabeth believes she has the privilege of knowing what the black veil eschews because she was engaged to the minister and was going to marry him soon. She believes that there should be no secrets between them, since they will be married forever.

2. Her calm turns to terror because while she insists that he reveal what the veil hides and remove the veil, she feels guilty for not trusting him, as well as being afraid that he is hiding something serious it's terrible.

3. Hooper refuses to remove the veil because he believes that Elisabeth must show confidence and loyalty to the man he will marry, in any circumstance.

Explanation:

This question is about "The Minister's Black Veil" written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, where we are introduced to Minister Hooper, who decides to use a black veil that covers his entire face. The minister never removes the veil and the population begins to be afraid of this attitude. Although the minister was an honorable and God-fearing man, the veil makes people see him as sinful, somber and to be avoided. This shows how religious society is judgmental and often hypocritical, even within their religions.

Why are Shakespeares plays condisderd difficult for nodern students to understand
Helga [31]

Well, there could be many reasons. First off, there are many different historical and cultural differences between Shakespeare's time and modern times that a modern student doesn't pick up on, doesn't understand.

Second, you simply have to take into account the fact that, with modern technology, students' attention spans have gotten so bad that simply reading Shakespeare plays is "too boring" for them.

Modern students want quick answers, a bubble they can circle on a multiple choice test type of answer. Interpreting Shakespearean plays requires thought and critical thinking, things that, I'm sorry, but no students seem to use nowadays.

Also, there is the small fact that, especially amongst teenage males, things like plays and reading Shakespeare are labeled as feminine or "gay".
