How we cite the quotes:
(Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote 1
"How long do you figure we can parade through this valley before we stumble on some hunting party? Glass ain't the only man in this brigade." (1.4.13)
Captain Henry's decision to lug Glass along in a stretcher is met with some resistance from the men. It's pretty understandable, too—why would they risk their lives for a man who's clearly already dying? We don't envy Henry here one bit.
Quote 2
In fact, so great was Glass's suffering that Henry wondered briefly whether they should put a bullet in his head, bring his misery to an end. (1.4.35)
Although Captain Henry makes every effort to save Glass's life, even putting his men at risk so they can drag Glass's body with them, he considers killing him out of mercy. If that doesn't show you the extent of Glass's suffering, then we don't know what will.
