“I look around me, and, lo! On every visage a Black Veil!” (Hawthorne 62)
In this quote Hawthorne is talking about the Metaphorical veil that everyone wears. Hooper says that everyone wears this veil to hide their secret sins. He thinks that people forget that god sees everything. People think that if no one witnesses their sins on earth then they will be fine in heaven, which just isn’t the case.
