has characteristics that are
unique to the Romantic period, particularly those which are directly connected with Gothic
literature. In Gothic literature there are several elements to be considered but all of them may
not be included in one same specific story. However but in The Minister's Black Veil
there are plenty to consider: The inevitability of fate, the failure of human nature,
the limitations of humanity, mystery and suspense, nostalgia and inner conflict, sadness and the
disconnect between man and his nature.
Add to this theof fear, the
possibility of inner terror, and the curious nature of an impossible problem also have a lot to
do with the Romantic characteristic of this short story.
