What are some internal/external conflicts in "The Minister's Black Veil"?

One
further example of external conflict you might like to consider is man v society. In refusing to

insistence on wearing the veil, even when he's officiating at a wedding, places him at a
considerable distance from those he's supposed to serve. Among other things, this means that the
minister is unable to carry out hisduties properly, alienating him even further from his
flock.

on wearing the veil can be seen as an assertion of the rights of the individual against the
community. Like everyone else Hooper is a social being, subject to laws, mores, and numerous
conventions. But he's also an individual, again like everyone else, and it's that side of him
that he asserts by refusing to take off the black veil.
