In the afternoon Mr.Hooper attended a funeral for a young girl and a person who saw Mr.Hooper stoop over the coffin thought they saw the corpse shudder. Later after that people were waiting for him to get the wedding and they were surprised to see Mr.Hooper wearing the black veil. The people thought it was bad luck for the reverend to wear a black veil and soon after he performed the ceremony Mr.Hooper saw his figure in a reflection and he ran away in terror.

The people in town came together and sent a group over to Mr.Hooper's house to ask him about the black veil. The group were fearful of the black veil and were too afraid to ask about it so they left with no answer's. Elizabeth was not afraid to ask her soon to be husband about the black veil. Elizabeth asked why he was wearing it and why he wouldn't take it off even for her. After talking with him Elizabeth eventually came to be scared of the veil and left him after that

Mr.Hooper continued to wear the black veil and people would avoid him but some people would throw themselves at him. He had to give up his daily walk to the cemetery because people would look at his black veil from behind gravestone's. He was not given any love or sympathy and children would stop playing and run away when they saw him.

Mr.Hooper is lying in bed with friends around him and the Minister of Westbury over him. The Minister asked Mr.Hooper if he is ready to take off his veil before he dies. Mr.Hooper agrees at first but when they go to take it off him he panics and sits up straight. "Never" said Mr.Hopper and he asks everybody "Why do you tremble at me alone" and says they should "Tremble also at each other!". Afterwards he says he sees everybody wearing a black veil and then he dies with nobody taking the black veil off him.
