Let's be honest: the villagers got what they deserved. She sarificed herself, her soul and well-being in order to save the villagers from certian death at the hands of a maniacal ruler. He woul d have slaughter the people without remorse, but instead of helping the woman oercome the curse and be free they punish her. Unfortunatly most parts of the society still run the same way: they punish someone for helping them in their time of need, but when confronted with the price and being in dire need itself, they turn their backs and chastise the person. Honestly, that woman should have made another deal: take the life of every sinner in the village and fort. Almost everyone would have died but because they were at fault. To make a short: don't help stupid people. They will repay you with hate and punishment
what do you expect. we have riots over nothing in the modern era with infinite knowledge. imagine these braindead 2iq villagers that cant read. they are no less than the animals they raise ofc they live on instinct to survive.
Hold up. Why is she making deals for her village? If she made a deal without their agreement why do they have to help or humour her? They didn't "get what they deserved", anymore than your family member making a deal with a loan shark without your knowledge.
@@uptonogood1893The villagers knew about the deal and peer-pressured her into doing it. The devil publicly directed the orice solely at her, knowing that the villagers could live with sacrificing the woman by pressuring her into the deal but forsaking her in her times of need due to her sacrifice. The villagers are as much a debtor in this contract as is the woman.
So much effort just to get an unbaptised baby. The devil could have asked teenagers with unwanted pregnancies instead. He could have gotten tons of babies and likely wouldn't even had to plant any trees or other landscaping work.
Its not about the Baby. The devil can't do anything with the Baby as the child is too innocent to sin on its own merit. Remember FREE WILL. Its more to do with the Villagers and Maria. He wanted to cause Havoc. Which he was able to dom
I'm sure history is filled with Nobel's committing crimes against humanity just because they could for any reason they created. Power doesn't corrupt, it reveals the true heart.
How does she have evil in her when she was trying to protect her village from being massacred. Like the guy literally said if they didn’t have the trees up he would start to kill the villagers. And let’s not even start on how they won’t be able to bring in a successful harvest as a result of that task so people would die even if they were able to get half the trees up. She was a hero that put her soul on the line for everyone but he always sensed evil in her… be real for real here sir!
They way I would have offered the whole village to him as they have all committed the sin of betrayal and clearly my soul ain’t got nothing on the bull they over here doing after I put myself on the line for them.
I think the devil targeting the Hans's soul all along but stopped when his target entered church territory so the the devil is like ' how am I going to get his soul in this land🤔.....💡I know, always find the weakest spot😈' so it is Hans's selfishness for pushing the villager to desperate situations thus triggered the event, the baby is an extra bonus cause he is conceived out of wedlock plus being Hans's illegitimate son as well but in the end the devil manage to get his target 'Hans's soul'...about the baby 🤔 the devil might not be able to claim him in time unless the child following his father footsteps
Father Simon is wrong. No matter what Hans does in heaven or hell aka when something else owns his soul, he'll just be another soul amongst trillions of others. But on earth he can make his name last good or bad. Only in times of war or disaster do we know the names of angels and demons yet on earth ppl can be remembered and 'immortalised' for all kinds of things
Who says he wanted progeny? He just wanted an unchristened kid ... maybe they taste better that way ... maybe he needed an interesting friend for his kid ... maybe he just wanted to work on new human torture techniques without risk. Maybe he just likes kids who aren't brainwashed by religious propaganda ... who knows ...
You made it? Then you either pay for it or get paid for it. Just like if you painted a portrait or made a song, royalties and all that ... Welcome to beyond the 14th century
Christine didnt deserve her fate she tried to save everyone they were ungrateful so her sister who betrayed her she defy the devil and he punished her for it
@@RedBeardJohnny61 The traditional view of the devil is of a sort of prosecutor of mankind; the dude in court that presents evidence that you're a piece of crap as it were (see Samael for details); the association of Lucifer as the source of all evil is more modern and stems from the mistranslation of a 5th-century woodcut depicting a certain Babylonian king being beheaded under the light (if it could be called that) of Venus the Morning Star. I know you think this has nothing to do with the incorrect information you know to be true (untrue), but there is also a fragile connection (paranoia really) between the archetype of the figure at the crossroads and the devil; this figure actually has a lot of folkloric value between a lot of different cultures, of which only some are Christian. The idea that one could trade with the devil actually comes from the Temptation of Christ; it is not supported by the Christian "Codices" and is more of a superstition.

This reminds me of Stephen King's Storm of the Century. In the book, an ancient magician starts killing people in a small town, until they give him a child to be his successor.
can we talk abt how both guys involved with the sister only cared abt the child because they thought it was male and theres, but when he turned out to not be the husbands, he was happy to sacrifice it and even offered him. and when the baby turned out to be a boy the knight decided he didn't want it to be sacrificed. and despite all the mid wife did for the town they turned their backs on her as soon as she needed help, even though she only needed help because she was trying to save the town and she had the chance to leave all of that behind but decided not to. AND the priest was somehow a holy man despite being one of the most evil in the entire town. this has to be the most accurate depictions' of the olden days it would have been a lot more accurate if all the women were 18 and younger, and the mid wife was constantly r worded by multiple men. over all the town brought all of this onto themsleves and deserved what they got i just wish the midwife and her sister/children got real justice. also why did the sister do that to the midwife, she could have protected them against bad ppl.
I had to read the book. The book goes on how the spider escapes. This was like half of the book. I'm not sure though because my german wasn't that good.
Damn, this covered the whole gamut from Dark Ages feudalism and torture, to deals with the devil and demonic possession, then right into arachnophobia.
In sense, don’t help people as they will just backstab you. Also, I have to wonder if the sister locked her sister, who became a spider to stop her killing spree. Cause the main character went on a killing spree to those that had wronged her. The only one who didn’t was the sister. Since when she was turned into a spider. She didn’t attack her and only her husband along with the others did she do it. She had many chances to kill her. I don’t think at the ending when she trapped her spider sister was a betrayal, but a way to stop her. Since her sister asked for her help; possibly meaning she wants her sister to stop her for future events. Sorry if this sounds confusing.
That’s really freakin scary and must be true for real. Always how it works dealing with the Devil, get save, get fame & wealth, at the expense of your very own precious soul!
It’s media that skews people view of Lucifer. You realise that he never did anything wrong, meanwhile god committed genocide, for what? Because of sin? Lemme ask what’s the point of that if he knows it’s just going to happen again, that’s like unclogging a broken toilet knowing full well it’s going to break again.
Yes; the media makes Lucifer look less malignant and more powerful than he actually is. Of course he did wrong: He rebelled against god, and, tempted Eve to do the same. God "genocided" those who were fit for nothing else. The point was to bring THEM to THEIR proper end; not to bring ALL genocide-earners to their proper end. 😏🤪
I always find it funny in that whenever a writer tries to portray medieval Christianity they always end up portraying their neckbeard head canon rather than how it actually was.
In short, it is out of jealousy because angles and demons cant create life, it is a gift god gave only humans which is a big reason Lucifer rebelled against God because he felt himself superior to humans.

Why is the devil so obsessed with babies
From my knowledge the Devil is always trying to have a kid because his kid is destined to be the Anti Christ
Lucifer always is
Lucifer and the watchers were angels but punished they wanted to be more that god have given they had children with human wasnt allowed
God had rules they rebeled on
In short, it is out of jealousy because angles and demons cant create life, it is a gift god gave only humans which is a big reason Lucifer rebelled against God because he felt himself superior to humans.
