Anys uses her last words to incite the villagers further in an effort to shock the crowd into letting her go. She claims that she is a witch and that she has slept with the Devil. She marvels at his sexual prowess and then claims that every woman in the village has slept with the Devil as well. To the men, she delivers an insult when she mentions that their wives were more satisfied with the Devil’s performance than with theirs.The men are dumbstruck, but they snap out of their stupor and pull the rope taught, killing Anys.
