Quote #4
"The question is," came Puddleglum's voice out of the darkness ahead, "whether, taking one thing with another, it wouldn't be better to go back […] and give the giants a treat at that feast of theirs, instead of losing our way in the guts of a hill where, ten to one, there's dragons and deep holes and gases and water […]." (9.137)
Adventures have a way of putting you into these kinds of life or death situations. Puddleglum amplifies the nastiness of their situation—being chased by giants and dogs into the Underworld—by stating the situation exactly as it is. He's not one to sugarcoat the possibility of an unpleasant death. Puddleglum, is, however, resigned to the fact that all living things die, and this gives him a practicality and bravery that serves them well on their mission.
Quote #6
"She is of divine race, and knows neither age nor death. I am the more thankful to her for all her infinite bounty to such a poor mortal wretch as I." (10.154)
While many of us might think of immortality as a cool thing, this is not so for Narnians. "Long-livers" signal major evil for them, since they've had some bad experiences with immortal beings in the past.
