“He that falls into sin is a man; that grieves at it, is a saint; that boasteth of it, is a devil” (Thomas Fuller). Every human being who has lived has sinned. As such, sin cannot be judged or punished merely for the act. Rather, other considerations should be taken into account.

people felt in the minsters black veil story. They weren’t sure if he wore it for his own sin or is he wearing it to bear for other sins. I believe that Mr. Hooper was wearing the veil to bear others sins. I believe that Hawthorne’s character Mr. Hooper has started to wear the black veil to bear others sin.
