When Reverend Hooper initially wears the black veil to Sunday service, the townspeople are taken aback and disturbed by his foreboding image. The women and children fear the reverend at first sight and discuss his terrible appearance following the service. The townspeople also go out of their way to avoid Mr. Hooper and keep their distance from him. As time passes, the reverend's black veil becomes less threatening and more mysterious. The townspeople contemplate the reasoning behind Mr. Hooper's black veil and continue to talk about the reverend behind his back. Unfortunately, Reverend Hooper loses his friends and close acquaintances because of his disturbing appearance. Despite his awkward and lonely social life, Mr. Hooper becomes a better reverend, and his messages are especially impactful. He becomes increasingly sympathetic towards those seeking redemption and becomes known for his enigmatic black veil. Overall, Reverend Hooper is unapproachable, and the townspeople gossip about him while going out their way to avoid socializing with him. Mr. Hooper is viewed as an enigmatic pariah because of his black veil.
