How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
Men fought the fire through the days and nights, although there was no night—the midnight sky was luminescent, incandescent, spangling pink, green, yellow and orange as if the Devil had swallowed us down. The bushfire screamed an unholy hymn, its cavernous voice riding the heat waves. (7.3)
Gabriel thinks about the arsonist as the devil here, even though he knows his friend (ahem, who is really Gabriel) is responsible for all the fires. We can tell that Finnigan takes his end of the bargain seriously, and certainly delivers, time and again.
Quote #5
My point, I felt, had been made. I didn't want to be associated with any devil whose doings were clouded by morality. There was no point to our pact—no point to my goodness, no point to him—unless his wickedness was a wholehearted, ungovernable thing. To make things right and proper, both of us had to be pure. (9.54)
As time goes on, Gabriel realizes that the pact is meaningless unless they are both wholeheartedly committed to it. It turns out Gabriel isn't quite as ready to jump on the good bandwagon as Finnigan is to hitch a ride on the bad. So the pact doesn't make sense for them anymore… but that doesn't stop Finnigan from keeping it.
Quote #6
McIllwraith shifts, nervously. Now, I admire treachery as much as anyone. But I can't let it go unpunished. The angel might forgive you—that's his job. Not mine. So here I am: here we both are. (12.19)
Finnigan doesn't care whether Gabriel wants to forgive people or move past their pact; he's going to keep it no matter what. Here, he pays the constable a visit after betraying Gabriel's trust. In reality, we see that Gabriel's dark side (Finnigan) is taking over.
