The following notes from May Day Eve were gathered from different blog sources:
The catholic imagination filters anything pleasurable and beautiful and luxuriant as tempting and therefore evil. Not surprisingly, the central characters in May Day Eve were both young, good looking, at the prime of their (sexual) lives and therefore teetering on the edge of sin. Which brings us to why evil is often represented as a beautiful temptress or as an extremely attractive man always ready to seduce you, or even as a highly coveted, rare object that can give you power, prestige or wealth (think Friday the 13th, Bedazzled, etc., Decadent Chociolate, a sinful treat.)
possible central idea
eventually, husband and wife will realize that they are married to the devil and the witch
a cynical assessment of marital relations (but I hope that we all prove this wrong when our own time comes)
