The Screwtape Letters is a beloved novel by C.S. Lewis. It is satire, using the communication between a senior demon, Screwtape, and his nephew (who is learning the demon trade), Wormwood, to address issues of Christian theology.
Wormwood's patient has died, and, much to Screwtape's dismay (at losing a soul) and delight (at the pleasure of Wormwood's punishment), the patient is with the Enemy.

Confronted with the reality that Wormwood has not made effective use of cowardice in subverting the Enemy's hold on Wormwood's patient, Screwtape encourages Wormwood to take advantage of fatigue as an assault on the patient's perception of what is "real."
