    I believe that the story with the most powerful moral lesson was The Devil and Tom Walker. The tale of Tom Walker teaches the important message of working hard for items that you desire such as money. Washington Irving, the author, uses the Devil to show all of the bad parts of humanity and how they are brought out in Tom Walker. Additionally, this theme is still very important today. Throughout the story, Tom is a very greedy man that tries to take the easy road through life, and this is shown by him taking a shortcut home.…

    Washington Irving and the flaws of marriage In “ The Devil and Tom Walker”, by Washington Irving marriage is ridiculed by Irving using satire. Satire is used in the story to attempt and ridicule marriage to cause awareness or change. Irving makes fun of marriage by including statements that show how bad Tom and his wife’s arguments get, how Tom will do anything to not please his wife and how he uses the loss of his wife for comfort.

    Many people are familiar with the novel Dracula, by Bram Stoker. It is typically referred to as a horror story sure to give a good scare. However, Bram Stoker was not merely out to give his Victorian audience a thrill ride. Many symbols and themes, particularly those of the main antagonist Dracula, were brought into the novel to teach a lesson. Oddly enough, Dracula resembles other forces of evil in other religions as well. A strong comparison exists between Dracula, Satan, and Hindu demons. Of course these parallels are not fully drawn across the entire novel. Some differences do exist, but the parallels that are apparent bring attention to a cultures idea of a monster or threatening force to order.…

While Satan is portrayed as a rather humane protagonist thus far, his motives, beliefs, and fears are not explained and thus, only allowed for a one-dimensional interpretation. During Satan’s soliloquy in Book 4, however, he finally reflects upon himself, revealing his motives, fears, and doubts and thus, enriching his character.…
