What do father hooper's final words disclose about his possible reasoning for wearing the veil?

∙ 11y ago
The character Mr. Hooper was inspired by a minister Joseph Moody of York, Maine. Moody accidentally killed his beloved friend Clark and could not be forgiven for this action.
When asked why he wore the veil:
"We all wear veils of one kind or another, and the heaviest and darkest are those that hang about our hearts. This is but a material veil. Let it stay until the hour strikes when all faces shall be seen and all souls reveal their secrets." - Joseph Moody
Mr. Hooper is a character created in Moody's image who has committed an ambiguous sin that allows for the reader to better relate to Hooper and ultimately decide why he wears the veil and if any of us wear veils to protect not only ourselves, but those around us.

∙ 12y agoFather Hooper ends up saying that he wore the veil not to cover his own sin, but to remind himself of the sin that exists in everyone he sees. Essentially, he was saying that the veil was a symbol of everyone else's sin and the fact that we all hold our deepest, darkest sin away from anyone else's view.

∙ 11y agoHe refers to the church goers as hypocritical because they all sin regularly and are shunning him for wearing the veil and concealing his face because of his own sins. He wears the veil to "ask for forgiveness" from God because of an affair he had with the girl who he performed the funeral on the first day. He says all the people who shun him are just afraid of their own sins.
