The Devil’s Character in the Grimm’s ”The Devil and His Grandmother” (Clip)

LL thinks the Devil here is somewhat like a trickster figure, in that he is not pure malice.  In this story, he gives them choices but also a way out of their contract.  I thought of him here as being contained by other forces: besides the contract, he is connected to his grandmother.  He’s a fair devil, in a way, although not without his tricks.  The virtue and spirit, the faith, of the lead soldier is his strength. 

(Sorry about the bad sound on my end.  It’s been corrected in future episodes.)
