Satan allows the angels to form into an assembly, and Milton depicts this with his word choice. He clearly states that Satan is in full control over the angels. The signal that Satan gives is significant because Satan's character changes from Moses to a sultan. The word choice spear exemplifies the change in comparison. Milton uses a simile comparing the fallen angels actions to a signal given by their leader. This comparison is obvious in the examples of power that Milton has given in his word choice, allusions, and comparisons.
