The Legend of Rose Latulipe

“I damn sure never would've danced with the devil At nineteen”

Uncle Jerry raises the French Canadian folk tale of Rose Latulipe as a direct parallel to the 'danced with the devil' imagery. In the story, Rose goes to a dance where an incredibly handsome unknown man appears. She falls instantly in love and dances all night, but the man turns out to be the devil and takes her soul away. Uncle Jerry says 'That's what happened here', the parallel is explicit: a young woman dances with a man who turns out to be the devil and is destroyed by it.
