In this passage from “the minister’s black veil,” what is the author expressing about the main character in the story? from “the minister’s black veil” in truth, his own antipathy to the veil was known to be so great that he never willingly passed before a mirror, nor stooped to drink at a still fountain, lest, in its peaceful bosom, he should be affrighted by himself. this was what gave plausibility to the whispers, that mr. hooper’s conscience tortured him for some great crime too horrible to be entirely concealed, or otherwise than so obscurely intimated. thus, from beneath the black veil, there rolled a cloud into the sunshine, an ambiguity of sin or sorrow, which enveloped the poor minister, so that love or sympathy could never reach him.(a) people steered clear of the minister because they were certain he was guilty of some great crime worthy of public condemnation and punishment. (b)the minister was afraid to drink at a public fountain for fear that the veil might fall into the water and reveal his face to those who were watching him.(c) people were concerned about the reason for the black veil, but the minister’s strange behavior made them afraid to approach him to comfort him.(d) because the minister was constantly feeling sorry for himself, he stayed away from others and refused their sympathy and love.
