The author continuously characterizes Tom Walker in a way that makes the readers pity and resent him to not want to follow the example of his life. For example, after Tom's wife takes all their valuables and tries to strike a bargain with the devil when Tom wouldn’t do it himself, he goes looking for her in the woods. Irving shows just how little Tom cared about his wife when he describes his reaction to her disappearance and death. He is more concerned about the safety of his silverware, which she had taken with her.

The air was chilled as Walter walked down the snowy, sleet-covered streets. It was mid-winter, right after a snowstorm had blown through. His wife was in a dentist’s appointment, leaving him to his own devices for the next hour. He’d been unsure of what to do, so he was just talking an aimless walk down the peaceful street.

The blade cuts holes into the thick powdered snow which is removed from the endless pile. The jet black shovel is filled with slushy snow and crystal shards of ice. The end of
