Answer:
Tom is paranoid about the idea of being condemned to hell.
Explanation:
Tom makes a pact with the devil to get wealth and, in fact, he does. He becomes a type of corrupt moneylender who enriches the rates of abusive fees over the loans he gives. Although he is very rich, Tom begins to be afraid of the consequences of his pact. He becomes paranoid about the idea of having his soul condemned to hell and desperately seeks a church becoming a fanatic for religion, in the search for his soul to be forgiven. All this paranoia is in vain and ends up accelerating Tom's death and condemnation.
