Reading 2

I find it interesting that in lines 159- 161 Satan says that from then on he and the other angels will focus on doing evil.  For Satan, good and evil would have to have been defined by God.  Since God is good, performing evil would be doing the opposite of what God says this would mean that God had to give the angels a set of rules to follow just like he gave to man.

  1. I think you'll find that many of our definitions will evolve from opposites--not according to what something is, but according to what something is not. "I am not what I am."
