I can infer that the author is directly talking about the devil .The way i can tell that the author is talking about the devil is when he says that he 'lives in a swamp with thickly grown great gloomy pines and hemlocks"also the author tells how the place was really dark. Another way i can infer that the author is talking about the devil because he says he neither seen nor heard a any one approach .And he was neither negro nor Indian .also the fact the he scowled for a moment with a pair of great red eyes.The reason why it was indirect stated that was the devil is because he is describing him and showing up in many different forms and ways and in the bible it tells how the devil comes in many forms. Also when it describes where he lives it brings me to the fact that the devil lives in dark places.
Some of the themes are how the devil will take many forms such as Temptation. He will try to shake your life and throw obstacles. Another theme is that you need to stay on your guard at all times for things that sound to good to be true.Greed was another theme because it shows how even the closet people to you will betray you. One final theme would people's love for money.
Come to my after world it’s fun and you may enjoy it
