Everyone was curious of what Mr. Hooper was trying to hide. In fact Mr. Hooper had not done anything wrong. Sin is also referred to in The Devil and Tom Walker, but in a little different aspect. Tom Walker accidentally stumbled on top of the Devil. Tom and the Devil made a little agreement. That is one instance that sin is expressed. Another similarity is that both stories are fictional, which means that they never happened. One other similarity is that in both stories the main character dies.
