Category Paragraph
A category I associated with Satan's description of Adam and Eve is pure. He proclaims, "The image of their glorious Maker shone." I interpreted that because Adam and Eve are made in the image and likeness of God, they are in turn pure. Satan expresses that these two creatures hold: "truth, wisdom, and sanctitude," making them pure and giving them divine beauty. I agree with his description and in reading it I can sense Satan's envy towards Adam and Eve. However, Satan is able to find beauty and purity in God's creation, regardless of his jealousy and anger towards God. I feel as though this description stands to be true because all of Satan's past speeches have been full of anger, while this speech is expressed in more of a comendable way. In my opinion, if Satan is able to find and express the good in something, then it must be something undeniably true because he is unable to express any hate towards their description.

OK, but this passage is the narrator's language, not a direct speech by Satan. You have to decide how much overlap makes sense and why.
