Ironically people have not changed today. The "deal with the devil" is very much a metaphor for what people give up for money and power. Sometimes, people today forsake their loved ones for money and sometimes they exploit innocent people for money. People, like Tom, hide behind religion and respectable professions to practice their poison.
