Allegory • Work in which characters, events, or settings symbolize/represent something else.
Relate to Hawthorne • Hawthorne specifically uses this to emphasize moral qualities and circumstances that people can relate to on their own terms.. Thus, “The Minister’s Black Veil” is highly allegorical and shows us man’s issues with morality and how we try to hide it. It becomes a tale of what happens when individuals and society judge sinful behavior too harshly. • Keep in mind that he calls this a “parable” which is a short lesson that teaches a moral lesson.
