The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a subgroup as “a subset of a group that is itself a group.” Every single human belongs to a subgroup in some way, based on job, gender, ethnicity, or other defining characteristics.

While he was here, he thought of a plan to get revenge on God. He would try and destroy God’s new creation, thus gaining himself some satisfaction. To do this, he went to Eden to find a flaw in the newly created humans. He ended up tricking Eve into eating the forbidden fruit, using the body of a serpent. However, when he changed into one, the other fallen angels changed into serpents also. “The transformation of Satan and the fallen angels into “ugly serpents””(Morrison). Satan had strong influence on his followers, as shown. It reveals the responsibility he has to his subgroup, as well as the control he acquired. The power when used affected his subgroup, rather than all of society, showing once again the necessity of a person to work for the subgroup.
