The Devil and Tom Walker and, The Minister’s Black Veil Compare and Contrast, The Devil and Tom Walker and, The Minister’s Black Veil Well as I see it there is quite a few of similarities and differences in the two short stories, The Devil and Tom Walker, and The Minister’s Black Veil. Some of the similarities are that both stories refer to sin, they are both fictional, and at the end of both stories they both die. Now some of the differences are one is a tall-tell, and one is a parable. One was a very funny story and the other was a very serious story, and their characters are totally different. One similarity refers to sin. In The Minister’s Black Veil, sin is never expressed, but all of the towns’ people suspected that the Minister, also known as Mr. Hooper had sinned because he was wearing the black veil. Everyone was curious of what Mr. Hooper was trying to hide. In fact Mr. Hooper had not done anything wrong. Sin is also referred to in The Devil and Tom Walker, but in a little different aspect. Tom Walker accidentally stumbled on top of the Devil. Tom and the Devil made a little agreement. That is one instance that sin is expressed. devil, tom, walker, minister’s, black, veil, stories, one, both, story, sin, very, two, mr, hooper, differences, similarity, similarities, serious, made, little, different, difference, because, wife, totally, though, tall-tell, quite, people, parable, out, old, never, main, humorous
