That is a good shower thought my dude. Sad, but true.
Well I mean the story very likely could take place in the U.S honestly. I didn't find anything distinctive of Dublin, Ireland in it. Culturally, it seems like a very busy, fast paced sort of place that values small business, what with the trolley system being very crowded and the bazaar being pretty popular. Hope this helped.
An indirect characterization could be that she is greedy, selfish, and impatient. We can see this in how she goes to the Devil to make a deal with him on her own, rather than waiting for her husband to do it. We can also see this in the fact the story says she keeps things from him, even though they're are married. This could show how she only desires things for herself and doesn't want to share. Hope this helps! :)
