Author’s Message
• What does this passage suggest about human
nature?
 Each member of the congregation, the most
innocent girl, and the man of hardened breast,
felt as if the preacher had crept upon them,
behind his awful veil, and discovered their
hoarded iniquity of deed or thought.
Author’s Message
• What does this passage suggest about human
nature?
 The next day, the whole village of Milford talked
of little else than Parson Hooper’s black veil.
That, and the mystery concealed behind it,
supplied a topic of discussion between
acquaintances meeting in the street, and good
women gossiping at their open windows. It was
the first item of news that the tavernkeeper told
his guests. The children babbled of it on their
way to school…
Author’s Message
• What does this passage suggest about human
nature?
 At length it was found expedient to send a deputation of the
church, in order to deal with Mr. Hooper about the mystery,
before it should grow into a scandal…But that piece of
crape, to their imagination, seemed to hang down before his
heart, the symbol of a fearful secret between him and them.
Were the veil but cast aside, they might speak freely of it,
but not till then. Thus they sat a considerable time,
speechless, confused, and shrinking uneasily from Mr.
Hooper’s eye, which they felt to be fixed upon them with an
invisible glance. Finally, the deputies returned abashed to
their constituents, pronouncing the matter too weighty to be
handled, except by a council of the churches, if, indeed, it
might not require a general synod.

What is Thoreau’s philosophy?
• “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately,
to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could
not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to
die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live
what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to
practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I
wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to
live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that
was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to
drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms,
and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole
and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to
the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience,
and be able to give a true account of it in my next
excursion.”
How do you measure up?
• Write a reflection evaluating Thoreau’s
philosophy. Include the following topics:
 Do you believe this is a worthy philosophy to live
your life?
 If you were to die tomorrow, could you say that
you had really lived?
 What do you do to “suck out all the marrow of
life”?
