Great Chain of Being Paper By: Brian Zwolinski The Great Chain of Being is the concept that the order of the entire universe is under a very strict hierarchical system. The chain goes from god which represents perfection to the bottom level which are the minerals of the earth.

suggests a similarity between the narrator’s resuscitation by ‘Herr Doktor’ and the resurrection of Lazarus by Jesus; revived without apparent consent. This comparison to God is repeated in her use of ‘Herr Doktor’‚ ‘Herr Enemy’ and ‘Herr God/Herr Lucifer’ linking all these figures as equals‚ merging their motives and insinuating their connection as one force of evil in the form of men.

Lazarus” conveys the message of male dominance. For example‚ the speaker states that “I am your opus‚ I am your valuable” it seems the woman in the poem feels as if she is a possession to men.

The woman rises from the ashes like a phoenix‚ stronger and with a new sense of empowerment. It is as if men mean nothing and hold no more significance in her life.

In Paradise Lost by John Milton‚ God cast angles away to hell for trying to overthrow him. Two of many of the angels God kicked out of heaven where Satan who had been Lucifer‚ the greatest angel and Beelzebub‚ Satan’s right hand man. Angles are suppose to be the good things in life.

and dimensions of Dante’s Inferno? Galileo saw this as a sign of good fortune. Galileo stated‚ Extrapolating from Dante’s line that "[the giant Nimrod’s] face was about as long/And just as wide as St. Peter’s cone in Rome‚" Galileo concluded that Lucifer himself was 2‚000 arm-length long.
