In Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Devil and Tom Walker," the devil claims that Deacon Peabody will be damned because of his hypocrisy and greed. Despite his outward appearance as a pious and respected member of the community, Peabody is deeply involved in unethical practices, such as exploiting the poor. The devil’s assertion highlights the theme of moral corruption masked by a façade of respectability. Ultimately, it serves as a warning about the dangers of valuing wealth and status over integrity.
