The devil has been apart of our culture since the creation of the bible and the story of Lucifer's fall. But there are some ways in which the devil can explain more adequately what it means to be a sinful creature.
In a recent movie known as The Devil's Carnival (2012), the Devil himself is in charge of taking care of the people who have died so that God can work on creating more people to live on Earth. In this interpretation of the life of the Devil, God does not want to deal with letting people into heaven, his sole purpose is to create more people through the symbolism of painting a face onto a doll. In the story three recent entries into Hell are greeted by an empty carnival that continues to play music and go on with its representation of how the people are incorporated into Hell.
Aesop is a famous philosopher from way back in the times of Ancient Greece. He wrote down many stories that had one lesson behind each one. The famous lesson from the Tortoise and the Hare is the phrase "slow and steady wins the race". In this movie, three people are sentenced to hell for three sins: greed, lust, and sloth.
In this version of the Halloween movie blogs, the Devil has been mentioned and represented in too many ways that we can point the use of the devil to the deadly sins of the Christian faith. First of all, the devil and his carnival shows that the placement of humans is not heaven because each person has been corrupted by sin or by going against their own humanity. Secondly, the carnival is an alliteration to the everyday life of humans, corrupted by our own vices and virtues to the point where even a cleanse from Heaven and God could not purify the only shot we as human beings devoted to many faiths would often get. Finally, the Devil is a term that we represent as the personification of a man with goat horns coming out of the side of its head. Although the Devil could be anyone, we represent the uglier side of the devil as a different human being when in fact there is one inside of us, its just a matter of will power to avoid the religious consequences.
The devil, Aesop and his stories, and the alliterations of our daily lives found within the movie represent the basic everyday acts of will power or the loss of morals and what it means when it comes to the aspects of the human interaction between sins and abstinence. For more information on the movie, you can check out the link provided or you can watch the movie itself and interpret it on your own behalf. I suggest you try it or else you must pay me a penny for my tale.
