Since the sum of her experience had told her that the majority of one's prayers to God were not answered, she prayed now directly to us, she called upon the Devil, she implored him.
The character in Norman Mailer's "The Castle in the Forest" reflects a disillusionment with traditional prayers to God, based on her life experiences. She has come to feel that most of her prayers go unanswered, which leads her to seek solace in a different avenue.
In her frustration, she turns to the Devil, imploring him for assistance instead. This shift represents a significant departure from conventional faith, illustrating her desperation and the depth of her need for help, as she attempts to grapple with the complexities of her existence.
