Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Minister's Black Veil" Response Assignment

What are the thematic connections between “The Minister’s Black Veil” and “Young Goodman Brown?” Are we supposed to figure out, or really care, what “ really” happened in the forest that night and in Hooper’s past to cause these permanent transformations in their character?

Make sure to integrate one to two pieces of evidence into your full paragraph response. (Remember from English Composition courses that your paragraphs should not begin nor end with evidence. You will need to explain how the evidence fits and proves what you are claiming in the first sentence/topic sentence of your paragraph.)
