In 'The Devil and Tom Walker', Tom's actions are not surprising because he is established as a greedy character from the beginning and his actions align with his selfish nature.
In 'The Devil and Tom Walker', I was not surprised by Tom's actions because the story establishes him as a greedy and selfish character from the beginning. Tom's actions are consistent with his character, as he is willing to make a deal with the devil to gain wealth and power.
For example, when Tom encounters the devil in the woods, he agrees to become a moneylender and take advantage of people's desperation for his own gain. This demonstrates his willingness to engage in immoral activities for personal benefit.
In addition, throughout the story, Tom shows a lack of empathy and compassion for others, which further supports his actions. He is willing to sacrifice his own wife for the devil's benefit, highlighting his self-centered nature.
