Poem/Story/Play Used: The Devil and Tom Walker

The Devil and Tom Walker is definitely a great example of an imaginative story. Being a folk tale, this story has a lot of imagination and naturality, which were big parts of the Romantic period. Tom
Walker was a usurer, lending money to local people in Massachusetts; some days when he walks home from the city, he generally takes a “shortcut” through the wooded areas of Salem and Boston – through the treacherous, woody, mossy, swampy forest. Nature plays a big role in this short story, ipso facto to Tom talking with the Devil and walking alone in the forest outside of town.
