<span>The story of “The Devil and Tom Walker” is similar to an older tale called Faust.
In Faust, the protagonist sells his soul to the Devil in order to get all the knowledge in the world. He wanted to know everything, and be the smartest person ever, which is why he decided to sign a contract with the Devil himself in return for this knowledge. A similar thing happened in "The Devil and Tom Walker."

The irony is that a proud, successful, and important man such as Okonkwo ends up hanging himself. It's tragic irony because the reader has many hints that this might happen. ...

The memorable American poet Sylvia Plath lived a fleeting but troubled life.

According to Edwards, healthy, strong members of the congregation foolishly believe that their personal efforts keep them away from hell. (Taken from Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God).
These people foolishly think so because they put so much belief in themselves and never realize how uncertain the situation is.
They are walking right over hell on a damaged and rotting bridge. Yet they think they are safe and sound.
The bridge can fall at any moment and they will fall through its hole into hell.
However, it was the grace of God that is keeping them away from the hell but they don't believe in the favor of God.
