What type of verbal and dramatic irony are found in ‘The ministers black veil’ ?

Explanation:

The Ministers Black Veil was written by famous author, Nathaniel Hawthorne. It is a short story. It is a strange story of the village minister whose mysterious decision puts his parishioners on the edge.

The black veil in the story symbolizes the secret sins of the man and how bad the human nature is.

The dramatic irony in the story is that while the veil is the main element in the story but Hawthorne, the author never lets the reader know about the reason behind the veil. And the verbal irony that Hawthorne shows in the story is that when it is stated that a superstitious woman is not a trustworthy or a reliable person or a witness for an alleged supernatural events.

panting and hungry, he looked at me, a defenseless human and he snarled.

well i said my prayers, however, he simply turned and limped off.
