Devil And Tom Walker Response Response: “The Devil and Tom Walker” Observations: ”The Devil and Tom Walker” is a folktale that brings reality alive. It is a model of how greed and cheat in life still exist. This folktale has two main characters, both living with a mind of evil intentions. Tom Walker is an unhappy man; always thinking the world owes him something. This is probably why he lives really miserably, and was so open to whom we meet next, the Black fellow. The Black Fellow is a devil in disguise, hoping to find a man like Tom, just as he did. He is about control and evilness, which leads Tom into a life worse then what he started out with. While I read the story, it was obvious to me that the text gets into detail, and then stops with a sudden finish, of each explained passage. The text was also very organized so it was possible to identify the climax, and the rising and falling action. It was also easier to enjoy this way. Thoughts: As I go back into the main theme of greed and cheat, I assume the author chose them for a reason. In many ways today, you still hear about them.
