What are the subgroups of the great chain of being?

The Great Chain of Being is a hierarchical structure that categorizes all living and non-living entities in a linear order from the most divine to the least complex. The subgroups typically include God at the top, followed by angels, humans, animals, plants, and inanimate objects. Each category contains further subdivisions, such as different species of animals or types of plants, reflecting their complexity and perfection. This framework emphasizes the belief in a structured, interconnected universe where every entity has its designated place.
