Tom walker and the Devil

What I can infer about "The Devil and Tom Walker is that Old Scratch is the guise for the Devil, who appears in "The Devil and Tom Walker''. The Old Scratch was describe as a dark-skinned man he also has deep red eyes, wears a red sash, and carries his axe on his shoulder.He was also the one who tempts Tom Walker with the proposition of wealth,He rides a horse through the swamp where they made their bargain.He was dressed in a rude, half Indian garb, and had a red belt.His face was neither black or copper colour. I am kinda using both direct and indirect characterization because I heard that he had red eyes and carried an axe I said that's not normal so I called him the devil.  and kinda thought he would have something to do with the Devil 
　


I can infer that Tom Walker is  protagonist of this story because his name is said in the title"
Tom Walker and the Devil".Tom walker was discribe as lonely guy. Tom Walker turn down Old Scratch's offer, but he eventually gives into the Devil's condition with his own conditions. I am using direct characterization because the arthor tells me this in the story.
　


i can infer about Toms Wlakers wife is thatshe is wife of Tom Walker and she was tall and she was fierce of temper. Her name was never given in the story, she had a big mouth.She often fussed with her husband She loved to fuss with her husband Yom Walker she had a strong arm, and sometime showed signs of their conflict .I am using direct characterization because the author tells me in the story..
