The Minister's Black Veil is a short stor about Reverand Mr. Hooper, a minister. He starts wearing a black veil over his face, which made the church congregation scared and uncomfortable. He wore it all the time and the congregation was so uncomfortable, they only called for him at funerals. Mr. Hooper was a great minister, but noone could get past the veil, so they ostracized him. In the end, he states that the black veil is his symbol of secret sin. He wears his outwardly and sees the black veils on others.
In The Minister's Black Veil and The Crucible, any form of social deviance or difference is persecuted. In The Minister's Black Veil, He is excluded and feared just for wearing a veil on his face. In the Crucible, these women are condemned for things like living with their boyfriends or having diffferent customs.
