The Screwtape Letters are a series of letters written from an experienced “mature” demon (Screwtape) to a more inexperienced younger demon (Wormwood). Each chapter is a new letter beginning with “My Dear Wormwood….” afterwhich Uncle Screwtape gives advice on how Wormwood is to tempt, manipulate, and coerse a certain Christian man out of the Enemy’s (God’s) will. Each chapter assumes a return letter from Wormwood has been written back to Screwtape with status updates on situations this man encounters and how Wormwood used the situation to try and achieve the Father’s (Satan’s) will in the life of the man. Screwtape schemes great plans to help Wormwood instill thoughts of pride, self-righteousness, depression, arrogance, or temptation in the mind or path of the man he is assigned to. Each letter is signed “Your affectionate uncle, Screwtape”
