"Markheim" es un relato sobre un motivo constante en la obra de Stevenson: el demoniocomo forma depurada de la presencia del mal en el mundo. Markheim, sin embargo, le mira como a un ser "que no procedía ni de la tierra ni de Dios", pero, de cualquier modo, ligado al mal.El demonio acude al asesinato cometido por Markheim, como buitre a su carroña.

El mal de Markheim, su pecado, es el de una naturaleza humana contradicha, el de un hombre, como otros, a quien la vida "lleva a rastras", porque es "el pecador que no quiere serlo".
