How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph) or (Chapter.Line)
Quote #1
"[Mowgli] came naked, by night, alone and very hungry; yet he was not afraid!" (1.44)
We're not sure if Mowgli's appearance is necessarily bravery or not. Perhaps Mowgli is just too young to know he's in danger.
Quote #2
"I have the Pack and I have thee; and Baloo, though he is lazy, might strike a blow or two for my sake. Why should I be afraid?" (1.74)
However, as Mowgli gets older, we see he's led a life of relative safety. This could be deadly, making Mowgli falsely confident, believing he can face dangerous situations on his own, when he really can't.
Quote #3
"Why should I fear? I remember now—if it is not a dream—how, before I was a Wolf, I lay beside the Red Flower, and it was warm and pleasant." (1.109)
Mowgli seems to have a dim memory of fire, which makes him more confident handling it than any of the animals are. They are all scared of fire.
