rrives at Viscos village accompanied by a devil. He uses a girl called Chantal to trap the villagers into the temptation of their lives. They are asked to kill someone to get 10 gold bars. It might be an old, idle, and useless person. It doesn’t matter who the victim is. In this novel Paulo poses the following questions:- Are you a believer?
If yes, are you clinging to you religious codes and principles?
If yes, what are your proofs?
What are the temptations you survived and overcame?
Are they strong ones?
Are you ready for a strong temptation?
Are you going to be the good person you think you are?
Are you going to justify your sin?
- Are you good because you fear punishment? or
Are you good because you are good by nature?
If the world doesn't have religions or laws to discipline people, would you be disciplined by nature?
If you know that you won't be punished, would you commit something wrong?
- Are you essentially good and get polluted by the surrounding circumstances? Or
Are you essentially bad and get disciplined by religion, laws, and teaching? Or
Do you have both sides good and evil, based on the situation the evil or good side dominates?
- Temptations, do they vary in kind from one person to another? Is it money, or children, or authority, etc.
- Do you justify you sins, even if they are minor ones? Will a little sin bring a major one?
