Elizabeth
is Mr. Hooper's fianc©e. She is at first less given to ascribing sinister motives to the veil
that the Reverend Hooper wears over his face. Eventually, however, she asks him to remove it.
When he refuses, she becomes terrified, and to assuage her terror, the Reverend Mr. Hooper tells
her that his veil will not persist through eternity. She is the first person to whom he explains
the possible dual meaning of the veil, but he refuses, despite her requests, to take it off or
to even partially reveal his face to her. She refuses to marry him, which plunges him into great
sadness. However, years later when he is on his deathbed, Elizabeth, coincidentally, is his
nurse.
