Question

Suppose that the message of "The Minister's Black Veil" is that people are sinful. Suppose that the minister wishes to show that sin is a barrier between people and God, people and their loved ones, as well as people and their happiness. Do you think he communicates this message to his parishioners?

Answer 1

Yes, I think the minister communicated this message to his parishioners.

Step-by-step explanation:

'The Minister's Black Veil' is a short story written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The story is about minister, Reverend Mr. Hooper, who preaches a sermon to his congregation about a veil that we put between people and God through our secret sins.

In the story, Reverend Mr Hooper does preaches to his parishioners that people are sinful and this sin begins to become a barrier between us, people and God. By preaching his sermon by putting a black veil on his face was to help his parishioners picturize how secret sins puts a veil or barrier between people and God.

So, yes, I think that minister was able to communicate his message to his parishioners.
