Letter 22

In this letter, Wormwood appears to be very frustrated. He seems to have encountered more obstacles than what he probably thought he would. I understood in this letter that as human beings we have other forces that drive us, not just evil, good, and religious thoughts. In this letter his nephew is in love, and the love that is presented is not that of just loving God, but he now loves a woman. I was able to sense that to a certain point Wormwood feels defeated. Whether we love God, a woman, a man, etc., we all have something that we either fully enjoy or absolutely love. What some of us love others hate and those same things that others hate we may at some point enjoy. Regardless of those differences, we all share the fact that we all have some sort of strong love or interest about a specific person or thing.
