Sexual Promiscuity In C. S. Lewis The Screwtape Letter

In chapter nine, Lewis begins his expedition journal writing. The Lewis journals were described as “America’s literary treasures” (108). The journals own this title because they were actual recordings of real American history. Containing great and precise details, Lewis’s writings had the ability to put readers in the in the mist of discovery. In addition, “He was a faithful recorder of flora and fauna, weather, the difficulties of getting down the river, unusual occurrences, people encountered.”

The data protection act is created for personal information to keep secure by John Lewis or by data protection act company and they must follow the rules that has been giving to John Lewis.

The data that John Lewis get from employees or customer it need to be accurate and relevant for

With social media at the people’s disposal, users are able to share their thoughts and to keep up to date with current events. Its no surprise to find issues trending on social media every now and then; this year’s election was no exception. Politics are without a doubt a greatly debated topic. Millions of post and articles taking sides flew all across social media; some were true while others were not. A supposed satire letter written by author C.S. Lewis became popular throughout social media during the campaigns. Letter is as followed:

“The long, dull, monotonous years of middle-aged prosperity or middle-aged diversity are excellent campaigning weather.” Screwtape wished to drag out the Christian’s life and turn it into a purposeless, repeating roll-play. He wanted to slowly and despairingly tear the Christian from God and so tear him from the only true hope and life and joy there is in this world. Do not be alarmed, though, because God is stronger that the demons and He, “having oddly destined these mere animals to life in His own eternal world, has guarded them pretty effectively from the danger of feeling at home anywhere else.” Screwtape admits that God insures his children a place in his forever home and an everlasting joy. Additionally, Screwtape refers to humans as “mere animals.” God created us in His image, which sets us apart from the animals. Screwtape therefore was trying to degrade humankind, to lower us, and how can any of us, humans, feel sympathy for one who so hates us

Prayers during these troughs, Screwtape says, please God even more than ordinary prayer. If a patient successfully holds his faith through such a trough, the patient will be all the more pleasing to God. a) The novel describes the “law of undulation” as a series of peaks and troughs, or the return to a level from which a patient repeatedly falls back. b) Screwtape can use this “law of undulation” to tempt a patient by examining what effect God wants the trough to have on the patient, and instead doing the opposite.

As a way to discuss his beliefs and thoughts on his faith, government system, society in that time and mankind in general, C.S. Lewis created The Screwtape Letters, a book in the form of letters from senior demon Screwtape to his nephew Wormwood, a sort of demonic trainee. For all purposes, they are lectures, but lectures jazzed up and made more suitable for a students mind. After reading the book, I was really enlightened and reminded of the truths that we humans should believe about God.

Letters 1-4 Wormwood is related to Screwtape as Nephew and Uncle. Screwtape refers to a man of God as a patient, to describe that wormwood is trying to take a man away from

"They turn casually to look at you, distracted, and get a mild distracted surprise, you're gone. Their blank look tells you that the girl they were fucking is not there anymore. You seem to have disappeared.(pg.263)" In Minot's story Lust you are play by play given the sequential events of a fifteen year old girls sex life. As portrayed by her thoughts after sex in this passage the girl is overly casual about the act of sex and years ahead of her time in her awareness of her actions. Minot's unique way of revealing to the reader the wild excursions done by this young promiscuous adolescent proves that she devalues the sacred act of sex. Furthermore, the manner in which the author illustrates to the reader these acts symbolizes the

The Screwtape Letters In The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, there contains a character named Wormwood. One might wonder what the name “Wormwood” means as well as where the name even comes from. The Greeks actually called wormwood “absinthion” which derives in its meaning to something that cannot be drunk (bibledictionary.org). The name “wormwood” is actually in the Bible.

Ira L. Reiss, a well-known sociologist, has contributed greatly to the field of human sexuality and in the 1960’s brilliantly predicted the revolutionary changes in sexual attitudes. In his novel, An End to Shame: Shaping Our Next Sexual Revolution, Reiss develops the notion that our previous sexual revolution did not adequately eliminate the inequalities related to sexuality. In reality he argues that America is in need of a newly formed sexual revolution, one that will address the negative consequences that our sex negative culture is experiencing. A significant portion of our population argues that these consequences are due to the fact that we talk too much and too soon about sex. This is an inaccurate view of the reasoning behind the sexual problems we are experiencing in America, as in reality the negative sexual outcomes we observe are due to the opposite of this view. This misconception is a common explanation for our sexual problems and many believe it is the key to solving our sexual crisis, but in reality is part of the problem. Reiss argues that “America is long overdue for a rendezvous with sexual reality” (18) and that the future of our nation depends on accepting these realities.

Love is a very impactful thing. The fact that the Patient has great love for his mother stands out as a problem for Wormwood and Screwtape. These two accomplices believe that if they strip the patient of all sources of love that he will turn away from God. Wormwood is provided with a list filled with details on how he can turn the patient’s love into anger and annoyance towards his mother. One way that they attempt to do this is by distorting the patient’s prayers into prayers

Screwtape also tries to use lust as a distraction in the Patient’s life. Being that the Patient is young and unmarried, Screwtape is to highlight lusts to keep his burning desire to be for women, and not for the One who gave him life. This approach was very clever, but believers must realize that the weapons we fight with are not the weapons of this world. Not only that, but Screwtape encourages Wormwood to not let the Patient’s Christianity shine through. That being said, the Patient would become self-conscious about his relationship with God, thus getting him to focus on self. This tactic, however, is nothing new. Satan tries nothing new, but it is important for us to know how to resist the devil, and that is through prayer, and the reading of God’s

Sex is the sacred sigh of the covenant with God, when a couple has sex they are sealing the covenant with God. Breaking this sign of the covenant is one of the most harmful sins that we as a people can expose ourselves to. In order for us to enter into heaven God says "But among you there must not even be a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity...because these are improper for God's holy people.1" Breaking the sign of the covenant with God is breaking God's law and going against everything God wants for us. God doesn't ask much from us considering all that he has given us, he asks us only to follow his laws, in Jesus said, "If you love me, you will obey what I command.1" Premarital sex goes against God's command and ruins our relationship with him.

      He goes on to describe the phallus as the "column of blood" that fills the woman's "valley of blood" without ever breaking through and commingling. This ultimate nearness which still respects individuality is the deepest "mystery" of science and religion, both of which are invoked in the elaboration of Lawrence's theory. The problem, he feels with modern Europe is that sex is too egoistic and conscious; one has sex for and with oneself1[1] and not as part of the expression of natural forces. Only by abandoning the "personal" in sex can one hope to give rise to a new mystical state of experience.

Theodore Dalrymple, in the essay “All Sex, All the Time” reflects on the change of view of the people about sex and how it has lead people into more confusion and conflict than before. Dalrymple’s real name being Anthony Daniels, he picked up the pseudonym of Theodore Dalrymple for the purpose of his essays. There were times when virginity was a pride to men and women. However, it still prevails in some countries, this custom and the people have been changing. He states that the world is now free to enjoy sexual pleasures without any fear of the myths and taboos that existed in history. Although people feel that they are satisfied and are free to choose this path of life, sex has lead people into “confusion, contradiction, and conflict” states Dalrymple (Dalrymple 1).
