The Devil and Tom Walker
Folklore is defined as beliefs or stories that are handed down from generation to generation. ... The story The Devil and Tom Walker is about a man and his wife who sell their souls to the Devil and then gain tremendous wealth as a result. By including exaggeration, stereotypes, and a general feeling about the New England area, Washington Irving clearly made his story The Devil and Tom Walker an example of American Folklore. ... First off, it is stated that smoke never comes from the chimney at the Walker house. ... Another unrealistic event that takes place is that Tom Walker actually met the Devil. It is very unrealistic because there has never been anyone that has had actual proof that they came face to face with the Devil.
