How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph) or (Chapter.Line)
Quote #1
The real reason for this is that man-killing means, sooner or later, the arrival of white men on elephants, with guns, and hundreds of brown men with gongs and rockets and torches. Then everybody in the jungle suffers. (1.19)
The animals make it seem like men are more apt to revenge than they are, but as we learn, the animals are just as hungry for revenge as man is.
Quote #2
"He shall not be killed. […] He shall hunt thee!" (1.39)
See? That didn't take long at all. A mere twenty paragraphs after our first quote, Mother Wolf declares that Mowgli will one day take revenge on Shere Khan.
Quote #3
"The time comes when this naked thing will make thee roar another tune, or I know nothing of Man." (1.63)
Bagheera tries to pin Mowgli's revenge on Shere Khan on Man's vengeful nature, but Mowgli would never have tried to kill Shere Khan had all the animals not constantly reminded him that he had to do it.
