Quote #4
His jaw set [...] and he felt again the visceral desire to strike out in pursuit. This time though, he also felt the weakness of his body. (1.7.29)
After being abandoned by Fitzgerald and Bridger, Glass's first thought is to get some sweet, sweet revenge. Good plan. There's just one problem, however: Glass was just—uh, you know—attacked by a giant bear. That kind of thing tends to take its toll on the body, wouldn't you think?
Quote #5
He was right—the thicker bone still contained the greenish marrow. In hindsight, he should have known not to eat it by the smell, but his huger robbed him of reason. (1.9.5)
Sometimes suffering can be useful, like when it teaches you a lesson. And what type of lesson, you ask? Well, lessons like "don't eat clearly rotten bone marrow, or you'll end up buying yourself a one-way-ticket to vomit town." That's a pretty good one, if you ask us—and not one Glass will soon forget.
Quote #6
With the new crutch, he hoped to make ten or even fifteen miles the next day. Still, something drew him to linger in the fleeting moment of contentment—sated, rested, and warm. (1.10.51)
After getting some rest, healing up, and stealing a buffalo corpse from a band of wolves (long story), Glass finally feels something that resembles peace. It's like a breath of fresh air. Although his ordeal is still far from over, this moment of relaxation feels like a million bucks after the suffering he's endured over the past several weeks.
