In “The Devil and Tom Walker” Irving is saying that the values in American society lie in the wrong place chosing wealth and financial prosperity over the well-being of others.
Irving sees America becoming greedy and warns the reader not to follow Tom Walkers ´s path that led him to exchange his soul to the devil blinded by his ambition for money.
This statement reflects the popular themes of individualism in the romantic era. The American romantics believed that a man's choices decided his fate. Washington Irving shows how Tom chooses the wrong direction that led him astray from the true values of humanity.
Both of them change in a significant way after their deaths.
Agamemnon even says: <em>“Imagine I and Achilles, wrangling over a girl, battling man-to-man. And I, 1 was the first to let my anger flare. Ah if the two of us could ever think as one, Troy could delay her day of death no longer, not one moment”.</em>
They don't show much anger regarding how they died or the fact that they did. So we can ignore the second and third options. Their change is regarding humility, which is something that they did not possess before they were dead. This eliminates the 4th options, leaving us with the correct answer:
* Both show humility after their deaths.
