Character Analysis: The Devil And Tom Walker

The Devil and Tom Walker In the heart of New York, Tom Walker decided to take a shortcut through a park. Tom stumbled upon trees with many different names carved onto them. On read “Crownshield” and another read out “Deacon Peabody”. On particular tree stuck out the most “Captain Kidd”. As a kid Tom heard many stories about Captain Kidd and how he buried all his treasures under a tree. Tom thought about all the things he could do with that kind of money. Maybe he would even leave his wife. After all him and his wife didn’t have such a healthy relationship anyways. They constantly stole things from each other.
Tom’s thoughts were interrupted by a tall dark haired, dark piercing eyed man. He looked maybe in his thirties. The man asked Tom many questions and told him
to get lost. Tom refused, “The park is open for anyone so why can’t I walk through it?” The man was very spooky and asked Tom if he would like to make a deal. His soul for Captain Kidd's treasure. Tom wasn’t a fearing man, but he declined the deal. When Tom arrived home he told his wife and she grew furious with him. She took it in her own hands and went to find the man in the park. Before she left, she packed a bag full of the most expensive things they had. A few silver pots, and even some of Tom’s things. She left a note on the table, and was never seen again.
Tom grew worried for her, he waited for her to come home.
He grew even more worried at the thought that she took some of his things. Tom went back to the park so he could get his belongings, but the only thing he found was his wife’s bag with a human heart inside.
The man appeared with another deal another deal that Tom refused. It finally dawned on him that this man was the devil. When the devil asked him if he would like to be of food use, Tom immediately said yes.
Tom owned a bank, he was one of the most well known banks around New York. he became very wealthy by lending money to people who needed help. As Tom grew older, he feared for his own life. He became very religious, but the catch was that he still worked for the devil. Tom’s fear was that the devil would take him away any minute.
Just as Tom was about to foreclose a deal on a house, Tome grew angry with the only man. He cursed and threw things and even said “The devil will take me before I help you”. Just like that, the devil appeared, knocking on the door. When Tom opened the door he saw the tall dark haired man waiting for him in a flaming black hummer. After that Tom was never seen again, everything that Tom “owned” was
burned.
