In many cases, the veil symbolizes secrecy. For example, in 'The Scarlet Letter', the scarlet 'A' is like a veil that hides Hester's true self. It also stands for the shame that society wants to keep visible. So, it's a symbol of the secrets and the judgment of society.
In some English classic novels, a woman with a veil can symbolize mystery. For example, in 'The Woman in White' by Wilkie Collins, the veiled woman is an enigma at first. Her veil hides her identity, which is crucial to the plot. It creates suspense and makes the reader eager to discover who she is. It can also represent a form of protection. A woman might use a veil to shield herself from the prying eyes of society, especially in a time when women were often judged harshly.
Another is 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte. Although not explicitly about a woman with a veil, Catherine Earnshaw has an alluring and somewhat veiled nature. Her relationship with Heathcliff is tumultuous and full of passion. The moors that surround the Heights add to the sense of mystery, as if Catherine is always partly hidden, much like a veiled figure, and her actions and decisions are often driven by deep, unspoken emotions.
One such novel is 'The Scarlet Letter' by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In this story, Hester Prynne is forced to wear a scarlet letter 'A' on her dress, which is like a veil in a sense. It marks her as an adulteress and she has to bear the public shame. This 'veil' of the letter is a central symbol throughout the novel, representing sin, identity, and society's judgment.
