Tom Walker

Tom Walker was a very greedy man. He was married, but he was very stingy and never shared anything with his wife. He lived with his wife in a little run-down house. Realizing how much a little riches could change his life, he became wealth-thirsty. He made a deal with the devil (which says an awful lot about his character) that stated that he would sell his soul for the devil in exchange for riches. Tom was not to be trusted and evil. As a broker, he appeared as a friend who wanted to help you with anything you needed, but in reality, his clients left his office dryer than when they had first walked into his office. He was also very spiteful. In the beginning, when he first tells his wife about the deal he is thinking about making with the devil, she thinks he should do it. Before she told him this, he was leaning toward making the deal with the devil. He then decides not to make the deal, just because his wife said she wanted him to. Lastly, Mr. Walker was self-centered and had no heart. When he realizes that his wife has disappeared, he goes searing for the valuables she took with her, not for her. When he finds a liver and heart tied up in an apron in a tree, which is believed to be his wife's, he doesn't shed a single tear. This finding only disappoints him because it is not his valuables.
