"The Devil and Tom Walker" by Washington Irving is a story about a man who makes a deal with the devil for wealth, while "Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne follows a man who loses his faith after encountering the devil in the forest. The key difference is that in Irving's story, the protagonist willingly enters into a pact with the devil, while in Hawthorne's story, the protagonist is tempted into doubting his beliefs.
