What is the explicit meaning of the lines given below from the story "The Minister's Black Veil"?
"Yet perhaps the pale-faced congregation was almost as fearful a sight to
the minister as his black veil to them."

There are a lot of parables that we can read nowadays however most of the popular parables can be evidently found in the book of God which is the Bible. By analyzing these passages in the Bible like the Parable of the Sower or the Parable of the Prodigal Son, we can observe that they are just simple stories that convey a moral or religious lesson to the readers. They might not directly imply the lessons like those of fables or fairy tales because some of the parables may include analogy or comparison. With that being said, each person can give it different meanings depending on their own perspective.
