Answer:

Whence true autoritie in men; though both Not equal (line 295)

Hee for God only, shee for God in him (line 299).

Explanation:

In John Milton's epic poetry "Paradise Lost", is written in blank verse. This poem is based on the Biblical story of Adam and Eve, the fall of man and the temptation by Satan.

From the given excerpt from the poem, the two lines

Whence true autoritie in men; though both Not equal (line 295)

Hee for God only, shee for God in him (line 299)

gives support to the claim that Satan perceived women as inferior to men. by claiming that true authority is given to men and the two sexes not equal. Then, he also said that man is for God while a woman is for the man who is like a god figure for her. So, god is above man and man is in turn above woman.

In this excerpt, we can cleary see how Satan perceived men as superior than women because he claims in favour of men using big and good adjectives to describe them, adjectives related to strong people and so on. Inteasted, he describes women with soft adjectives treating them as delicated people, warm, affectionate ones, leading to believe they can not be strong as men. To support this, we can use the following lines: "<em>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;"</em>

frutty [35]
I don't know which edition you're referring to. I suppose the lines 43-58 are actually the third paragraph. So, here's the answer:

The narrator's relationship with her husband has changed because of a supernatural influence that she can't exactly explain or fathom. She doesn't really know what happened, when, or why, but at night her husband was not the same person she married. "It’s the moon’s fault, and the blood. It was in his father’s blood," she reasons. Her husband is alienated because of this, and somehow she feels that they don't belong together anymore. He goes out to find those who are like him. "Something comes over the one that’s got the curse in his blood, they say, and he gets up because he can’t sleep, and goes out into the glaring sun, and goes off all alone — drawn to find those like him."

Marizza181 [45]
#1) How are they similar to "the slaves of political parties"?

Answer: Slaves wanted to be trusted by their overseers because this often would grant them privileges that other slaves did not have.

#2) Why does Douglass make this comparison?

Answer: Slaves would seek with great care to please their overseers to gain their trust, just as office-seekers in the political parties seek to please and deceive the people.

I hope it helps, Regards.
