Based on this excerpt from "how much land does a man need? " by leo tolstoy, how is the author using the character of the devil?
"of course our work is rough and coarse. but, on the other hand, it is sure, and we need not bow to any one. but you, in your towns, are
surrounded by temptations to-day all may be right, but to-morrow the evil one may tempt your husband with cards, wine, or women, and all will
go to ruin. don't such things happen often enough? "
pahom, the master of the house was lying on the top of the oven, and he listened to the women's chatter
"it is perfectly true," thought he "busy as we are from childhood tilling mother earth, we peasants have no time to let any nonsense settle in our
heads. our only trouble is that we haven't land enough. if i had plenty of land, i shouldn't fear the devil himself! "
the women finished their tea, chatted a while about dress, and then cleared away the tea-things and lay down to sleep
but the devil had been sitting behind the oven, and had heard all that was said. he was that the peasant's wife had led her husband
into boasting, and that he had said that if he had plenty of land he would not fear the devil himself.
"all right," thought the devil. "we will have a tussle. i'll give you land enough, and by means of that land i will get you into my power."
