Question

What three comments does Hawthorne write that three different people make about Mr. Hooper wearing a veil over his face?

Answer 1

Answer:

The comments were:

• "I can't really feel as if good Mr. Hooper's face was behind that piece of crepe."
• "something awful, only by hiding his face."
• "Our parson has gone mad!"

Explanation:

The question above is about "The Minister's Black Veil" where a minister from a small, puritanical town decides to use a black veil covering his entire face. The minister uses this time and time, causing the population to become alienated and the population to collapse. We can see how the rejection of the population through the comments made on the day the minister decided to start using the veil.

The church sacristan said "I can't really feel as if good Mr. Hooper's face was behind that piece of crepe." A lady who lived in the city said "something awful, only by hiding his face from him," while Goodman Gray said "Our parson has gone mad!"
