Answer:
Mr. Hooper wears the black veil because he has understood a truth of humanity according to which each one of us are sinful.
Explanation:
"The Minister’s Black Veil" by Nathaniel, Hawthorne is a parable which 'Reverend Hooper' decides to fashion and wear a veil over his face. Although his congregations were not favoring it, Hooper decided not to remove the mask. He wears it doing services on street or in private companies. Hooper saw the world as dark and shadowy. He thinks that we all are full of sins and we think we could hide these sins even from God.
The way Hooper behaved raises questions about how we are different from others.
People do not understand the reason Hooper wears the mask. Their reactions are the result of the guilt they have over their own sins.
If you dont mind me asking, what is the underlined word?
