How Does Lewis Present Evil In The Screwtape Letter

Improved Essays
The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis portrayed evil in a way that I found extremely interesting. A demon named Screwtape writes letters to his nephew, Wormwood, to guide him on trying to keep a human away from God. He tells Wormwood that he should keep his “Patient” busy and never allow him time to get close with God. The way that evil is portrayed is interesting because it is never manifested to the human. It is just a force prompting them to do certain things that will eventually lead them to turn away from God. I found this interesting because of how meticulous the demons were in their planning to convert just one human. I also found it interesting how the demons portrayed God as the “Enemy” and also how they did not understand the concept

    Poe’s “The Purloined Letter” was written as two conversations to further strengthen the dual nature of the piece. The concept of duality is the central focus of the story. The thread that carries the dual nature of the story is actually never directly stated, which is that Dupin and Minister D are brothers. Evidence of this first comes from Dupin explaining why the Police failed. He used the example of the “game of 'even and odd'”, where in order to win, the player has to think like the opponent, and thus know the opponent’s mind well.…

    In the Seventeenth Letter of The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, Screwtape starts to explain to Wormwood the fallacy of Gluttony when he is tempting his patients. Gluttony has the meaning to be overindulged in food and drinks. The gluttony of delicacy’s should be considered because people do not always car about how much food but, care about if it is properly spiced, overcooked, or if it looks pleasing to the eye. Screwtape provides a great example of Gluttony when he is talking about the patient's mother in which she is enslaved to gluttony of delicacy. The reason for this is when she was eating at a restaurant she sends her food back to the kitchen because she thinks it was to much food and demands the portion to be a forth of the original…

    It's hard for me to say I was surprised by anything that any one author said. I think many of the writings were just reflections of the personal experiences of the people who wrote them and nothing more. It just reaffirms that many people have different life experiences and that they all handle them in different ways either because of character or their upbringing. I did read the "Conversion of the Jews" and the ending was somewhat surprising with the last sentence which says "And he did, right into the center of the yellow net that glowed in the evening’s edge like an overgrown halo." (Perkins 81)…

    The Devil has been portrayed in thousands of stories, shows and movies. How this character appears varies from story to story. Some show the Devil as a red man with horns, others as a normal person. “Young Goodman Brown”, which portrays the Devil as the later, is about how everyone is sinful, while “The Man in the Black Suit”, which portrays the Devil as more of the former, is about how the Devil comes for us all. While both “Young Goodman Brown” and “The Man in the Black Suit” show the danger of Devil like figures, they both have different risks involved, demonstrating that stories with similar antagonists can still have very different themes.…

    Both Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne are regarded as some of the most influential American authors of the past, with Poe’s works inspiring those in the United States and abroad (687) and Hawthorne being viewed as “the most valuable example of American genius” (603) of his time. Their stories explore the tendencies of humans to sin and the descent of individuals into grief, sorrow, and madness. Although Poe and Hawthorne primarily explore the darker ideals such as outlining the thought processes of madmen, their method of approach to these topics is their greatest difference – which is readily apparent in The Minister’s Black Veil versus The Raven. Hawthorne’s works center on the actions of an individual, such as the Minister in The…
