The devil is mentioned in Princess Mary’s thoughts as the source of temptation, imagined as standing behind a screen in a dark corner. He is not otherwise described or developed as a character, and the text supplies no concrete appearance or arc.
Description
No physical form is described. The devil is evoked in Princess Mary’s thoughts as a presence behind a screen in a dark corner, so any visual depiction should remain shadowy and undefined rather than assign specific features, clothing, or anatomy.
