Question

Which two sets of lines in this excerpt from John Milton's Paradise Lost show that Satan acknowledges the goodness of God, despite his claim that God is a dictator?

Into our room of bliss thus high advanc't
Creatures of other mould, earth-born perhaps,
Not Spirits, yet to heav'nly Spirits bright
Little inferior; whom my thoughts pursue
With wonder, and could love, so lively shines
In them Divine resemblance, and such grace
The hand that formd them on their shape hath pourd.
Ah gentle pair, yee little think how nigh
Your change approaches, when all these delights
Will vanish and deliver ye to woe...

For Plato

Answer 1

One of the answers is:

"Little inferior; whom my thoughts pursue

With wonder, and could love, so lively shines."

I don't know what the second one is but i know that the second one is NOT:

"Will vanish and deliver ye to woe.."

hope this helps!! will update if i figure it out!!

Answer 2

Answer:

Little inferior; whom my thoughts pursue

With wonder, and could love, so lively shines

and

In them Divine resemblance, and such grace

The hand that formd them on their shape hath pourd.

Explanation:

These two sets of lines show how Satan acknowledges the goodness of God. In the first set, Satan tells us that his "thoughts pursue" God, and he also talks about love and shine. In the second set of lines, Satan talks about God's "divine resemblance," and he tells us that he made his creations with "grace." All of these positive words show that Satan feels some kind of respect towards God.
