I believe the correct answer is the emphasis on the individual choice.

The trait typical of the Romantic era is featured in Washington Irving’s short story "The Devil and Tom Walker" is individual choice. In Romantic era, man is in the center of world, he is a free being with the free choice. This short story is about Tom Walker who sells his soul to the devil in order to get the buried treasure and he and his wife hoard things from each other, things that should belong to both of them and be shared by both of them. This story is regarded as a Faustian tale, the tale of characters showing their greed and selfishness.

The playwright wants to illustrate fear to the audience because they fear the anger of Dryas and so he was put into prison for that reason, but maybe sadness as well because of the reason he was send to jail.
