In Tetiyette and the Devil the author wants readers to acknowledge that looks can be deceiving. Not because someone dresses nice or appears a certain way should we be so quick to judge. In this particular short story the message trying to be put out is if it seems to good to be true maybe it isn't as well as don't judge a book by it's cover. The girl in this short story was so flattered by the looks of the devil that she didn't see him for who he really was. She saw the goat and the pig and didn't bother to acknowledge them due to their looks. Who knows maybe they would've turned out to be great husbands? I understand why the author used the characters and such vivid description on how she was being eaten. The author wanted to show how the girl saw these men. They weren't really goats or pigs but humble looking men. The girl in the short story pick the man who was covered in gold. Who later turns out to be the devil, which just identifies the man as a person. The reason to why he plays the devil in this short story. The sense in how we are today, so quick to make assumptions about others without knowing their background or person. The audience in my opinion isn't necessarily anyone in particular, it is more of a general message to everyone. The purpose is an eye opener to everyone. The message in this short story is to not judge a book by its cover. We as people shouldn't judge on appearances but someones actual person.
