8. Describe Tom's religious behavior. Why does he act this way? the story is "the devil and tom walker"

Tom becomes a religious fanatic and frequents churches all the time tirelessly. All of this is the result of fear and despair about what his soul's destiny will be.

Explanation:

"The devil and tom walker" tells the story of Tom who sold his soul to the devil in exchange for a treasure that left him rich and powerful. Tom was not religious and sold his soul without thinking twice, because he believed that nothing in the world would be more pleasurable for him than having a lot of money, for this reason, after selling his soul and getting paid, Tom lived a long life of wealthy people. and he was very happy that way, but when he realized that his life was coming to an end he was extremely nervous and very afraid to go to hell and suffer for eternity. This fear and despair at not knowing what would happen to him made him a religious fanatic. He tried desperately to save himself by attending churches all the time, carrying bibles wherever he went and praying frantically, but nothing was able to save him.
