Human Intent and the Aftermath of It
Washington Irving, in writing 'The Devil and Tom Walker', and Stephen Vincent
Benet, in writing 'The Devil and Daniel Webster' illustrate to the reader the
consequences of man's desire for material wealth and how a person's motivation for a
relationship with the devil affects the outcome of the 'deal'. In these two different, yet
surprisingly similar narratives, the authors present their beliefs about human intent and
motive.
