    Secondly, Screwtape’s sarcasm about society’s ideas of Satan and devils, God’s purpose for people, and God’s advantages over Screwtape, his fellow devils, and Satan shows the differences in God’s attitude towards humans and Satan’s. Lewis as well uses fear to attack human pleasures to demonstrate important differences between Satan and God. Lastly Screwtape uses temptation as a way to demonstrate the strength sins and distractions gives him to gain a patient's soul.

    In his famous essay The Ambiguities of Henry James, Edmund Wilson asserts that "the young governess who tells the story is a neurotic case of sex repression, and the ghosts are not real ghosts at all but merely the governess 's hallucinations" it is Wilson’s suggestion that Mile’s is frightened to death by the governess at the end of the novella (Parkinson 3). As a reader, we can consider that there is evil supernatural forces at work or we can choose to believe that it is the women who has been trusted to care for the young children whose indiscretions result in the death of the young boy. James’ writing allows the reader to choose which of these equally horrifying plots to believe. The effect of this is that The Turn of the Screw has the potential to terrify a wide range of…
