The Devil And Tom Walker

In the story, "The Devil And Tom Walker" I can infer that, Tom was a small and stingy man, because the author directly told me that, when he said "he was a meager and miserly fellow. His wife is also stingy too, and very greedy, I know that because the author directly told me that when he said "he had a wife as miserly as himself". The author directly told me that Tom Walker was nosy when he stated "her husband was continually prying about to detect her secret hoards". The author directly told me that Tom wore the blouse around the house, when he stated "Tom's wife was a tall termagant, fierce of temper, loud of tongue, and strong of arm. her voice was often heard in wordy warfare with her husband; and his face sometimes showed signs that there conflicts were not confined to words". All this means she was tall, mean, strong, and loud, she also put her hands on him. The author also indirectly tells me that Tom was a brave fearless man when he stated "Tom Walker, however, was not a man to be troubled with any fears of the kind. I can infer that the black man is the devil, because the author says "it looks like he's been through fire", and Tom couldn't describe his face. The devil was also a slave dealer. The author stated he felt like he was above everyone when he said "I am the great patron and promoter of slave dealers, and the grand master of the salem witches.

Some morals in the story "The Devil In Tom Walker" are you shouldn't marry someone you don't love, or going to have to keep secrets from. Because marriage isn't about secrets and hate. Another moral is you shouldn't get yourself into something bad, like working with the devil. Also don't let peer pressure, pressure you, and don't go back to the bad things. Tom made a mistake when he got on the horse with the devil.
