Wormwood has a plan: increase the sexual temptation, and then throw in an attack on another area of the patient’s life. Screwtape approves.

Wormwood has tried and failed to tempt the Patient with sex. Even worse, the Patient now realises that temptations don’t last forever, and he doesn’t have to give in to them.

What is love anyway? Screwtape attempts to explain it – and God’s love for humans – in a way that only a demon can.
