Ch. 19-21
Chapter 20: screwtape wants Wormwood to possibly choose a wife so he can be unchaste. He points out when choosing a wife that he should look partlicularly for physical features. He tells Wormwood to look for femenine body figures and tells him to becareful because some women are fakes when it comes to body figures because they will try to look like it be wearing tighter clothes and tighter suits to have the figurely body even though they really have a boyish figure. It's all an act he tells Wormwood. He then tells him that the one he finds to marry will be his "own", or slave, or accomplice, or idol. He also explains that once you are married, your wife is like beauty, ugliness by art. But Screwtape noted the only way to marry her is that he has to be a Christian and must Love her.

I chose to do the same letter as you have looked at. I like how you also pointed out how Wormwood was telling the patient to look only for the physical features of the woman. I felt that this type of attitude was influenced by our socirty and media today. Although beauty is only skin deep, some people tend to only look that far.
