The
Devil and the Walker is a typical instance of American literature in the 19th
century. The romanticism in this story explored Tom’s inner mind. While Tom
does not give in to materialistic pleasures initially, lust and greed find
their way into him and change Tom’s thought focus. He begins to yearn more and
more for personal gain and money. This urge manifests in him to such a great
extent that it results in his wife’s death. When she was alive, his wife was no
different and the author compares her to the Devil. Finally, deprived of love,
Tom even contemplates signing a deal with the Devil.
