I Love Money - 2008 Dealing with the Devil 3-9 was released on: USA: 10 November 2010
In Washington Irving's take on "Faust", Tom Walker shows the hypocrisy of the Puritans. He's a married man, but he doesn't like his spouse. When he finds the Devil has killed her, he's happy. He wants money, but he has (limited) morals. He won't involve himself in the slave trade, but is perfectly happy to become involved in usury. When his end nears and he knows he has to keep his pact with the Devil, he exhibits false increased faith, but to no avail.
the significance of the forest is where the devil is and where all the witches practice their witch craft
