I can infer that man did not care about his wife he only cared for his items she had stolen from him. He went in the woods looking for his items not his wife, the author states the man in the woods did him a favor by taking his wife. That is showing us that he did not love his wife and did not care if she was alive or not. In the book the author shows that the man dose value his life a little more than i thought he did, it says in the story that when he ran into this man that looks like the devil and the man asked him to sell him his soul and he would be rich he turned the man down.
You can tell that his wife is a selfish person.
and only do stuff if it benefits her, she only care about her self and her self only. After her husband told her about the devil trying to make him give him his soul and he would make them rich, she encouraged him to make the deal. And because he said no she took it among herself to go find the devil and try to make a deal for him to take her soul instead. She stole her husband silver to take to the devil also in the story it shows she is a secretive person. It says she hinds her stuff in different areas of the house.
In the book it shows her husband is a nosy person. the author says he goes looking for the places in the house she hinds herself. The family in the book is very selfish family and are people who care nothing about anyone ele nor each other.
Trey you have the right idea however, you did not use tell me if your inferences were a result of direct or indirect characterizations by the author. That was the idea behind the entire assignment. If you go back and fix this, I can change your grade. Remember, if the author gave you clues about a character's personality then it would be indirect but if he came right out and said it then it would be direct characterization.
