If God really exists, the Bible salesman can assure God: he is not a good the Bible salesman or good country people but rather a good cheater. He fathoms different aspects of human nature and exploits them to get what he wants. Before him taking hoax, he has already got ready – his friends have told him, Mrs. Hopewell is a “good” woman. “Good” implies she is simple and profitable. He disguises to be a devout and humble Christian selling Bibles and dresses flamboyant “a bright blue suit and yellow socks” to make rustic, poor, and young man impression. He makes up his miserable life experience to obtain sympathy and trust, such as his heart condition and father’s accident. From his fake misfortune, Joy finds resonance and it also moves Mrs. Hopewell.
