Ti_Jean and His Brothers

In Ti-Jean and his brothers we see the Devil in several forms we meet the devil himself, the planter, Bolom and the old man. The devil asks the brothers to almost overcome their imperfections. For example Gros-Jean is very cocky about his strength and gets angry rather quickly so the Devil disguised as the old man gives him the advice to be patient and he fails when he gets aggravated with all the work he is doing for the planter which is another of the devils disguises . I believe he feels he is smart because he asks them to perfect a quality about them he feels they will not be able to fix and Ti-Jean and Gros-Jean fail at the tasks. Ti-Jean the youngest of the brothers manages to get him “vexed” and ends up defeating him forcing the Devil to give Ti-Jean what he wanted. The Devil seems to be very arrogant because he thinks he can defeat the three brothers by knowing their weaknesses and using i9t against them.
