- EXPOSITION
- CONFLICT
- RISING ACTION
- On Sunday morning, the people in a small, 17th century New England Puritan community are shocked when their minister Mr. Hooper comes to church wearing a black veil over his face. It is made of black crape, and it obscures everything except his mouth and chin.
- CLIMAX
- Mr. Hooper’s black veil brings out a deep-seated horror within each person in the congregation. They feel like he can see their deepest secrets and sins as he gives a sermon on secret sin. He wears it to a funeral where it should have been appropriate, but it makes the funeral frightening. He wears it to preside over a wedding, and the bride and groom see it as an evil omen.
- FALLING ACTION
- Everyone in town talks about Mr. Hooper’s veil, but no one gains the courage to ask him about it, except his fiance Elizabeth. She tries to persuade him to remove the veil. He refuses; it is a symbol that he is bound to wear. Elizabeth leaves him. Mr. Hooper wears it for years after, and becomes a comfort to those who are dying and believe that he can understand their sins.
- RESOLUTION
- Mr. Hooper becomes known as Father Hooper, and serves until he is on his deathbed from old age. Elizabeth comes to his side, along with Reverend Mr. Clark, who tries to get Father Hooper to remove the veil. Hooper grabs the veil and holds it tightly to his face. He shoots up in bed with the last of his energy and tells everyone that their faces hold their own black veils.
- The people in the room look at each other in fright. Father Hooper falls back with a faint smile on his face.
- Father Hooper is buried with the veil still on his face.
