Question

Which lines in this excerpt from John Milton’s Paradise Lost support the claim that Satan perceived women as being inferior to men?

The image of their glorious Maker shon,
Truth, Wisdome, Sanctitude severe and pure,

Severe, but in true filial freedom plac't;
Whence true autoritie in men; though both
Not equal, as their sex not equal seemd;
For contemplation hee and valour formd,
For softness shee and sweet attractive Grace,
Hee for God only, shee for God in him:

Answer 1

Not equal, as their sex not equal seemd;

Hee for God only, shee for God in him:

i just took the test

Answer 2

Lines in this excerpt from John Milton’s “Paradise Lost” that support the claim that Satan perceived women as being inferior to men are: “Whence true autoritie in men; though both /Not equal, as their sex not equal seemd; […]Hee for God only, shee for God in him:”

In this excerpt from “Paradise Lost”, written by John Milton, is clearly stated that Satan perceived women are not equal to men because God gave the true authority to men and compares that to their sex also seemed not equal (they both look like God, but are different). He also adds that men have direct contact with God, but women have indirect contact – thorough men.
