How do you pronounce Veil's name?

I personally feel like in a book, the name can be pronounced however you best see fit.

Of course, the author probably intended it to be one way, but it's not always bad the way you originally pronounce it.

Often in my mind, I pronounce names differently than they should be, but they do seem to fit with the way the characters behave. It's almost like my brain is automatically assigning a more suitable name.

So they rhyme it with both ways. GAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAHHHHHH!

Jetthebinturong

NO THEY DON'T.

THE RHYMES IN THAT POEM ARE:
-awhile
-vile
and
-fail
-Veil.

There is no reason to think that Veil rhymes with evil. That doesn't fit the rhyme scheme in any way.

Ashleg

Awhile and vile don't exactly rhyme with "vail".

Jetthebinturong

That's not the rhyme scheme of the poem.

It's AABB. "Vile" and "awhile" rhyme, then "fail" and "Veil" rhyme.

Ain't a poetry master like some.

I've never been a poetry master and I don't know enough about rhyme scheme to actually talk about it, but even so I understood it as Jet says even when I was a little kid reading the book. It's pretty clear how it was meant to be rhymed.

But then they rhymed it. With evil.
NO THEY DIDN'T. POEMS DON'T HAVE TO BE RHYMED. IT DOESN'T RHYME WITH EVIL. DEAR GOD THIS THREAD MAKES ME SAD. YOU CAN PRONOUNCE IT VEEL IF YOU WANT (even though that's wrong) BUT IT DOESN'T RHYME WITH EVIL.
