How we cite our quotes: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
They were abandoning him. The wounded man knew it when he looked at the boy, who looked down, then away, unwilling to hold his gaze. (p.1)
The scene in which Fitzgerald and Bridger abandon Glass is the first thing we read in the novel, so that should clue you in that it's a pretty big deal. In our book, the most notable aspect of this passage is Bridger's reluctance. That will come to be quite important as the novel goes on.
Quote #2
Glass's rifle was the one extravagance of his life, and when he rubbed grease into the spring mechanism of the hair trigger, he did so with the tender affection that other men might reserve for a wife or child (1.2.46)
Interestingly, Glass's beef with Fitzgerald and Bridger isn't about them leaving him to die—it's about them taking his equipment and, most importantly, his gun. On one hand, this is a practical consideration: survival would be a lot easier with the help of a rifle and a knife. On the other hand, this is as personal as it gets. After all, Fitzgerald hasn't merely taken Glass's rifle—he's taken the love of his life.
Quote #3
When he walked in on Dominique plying her trade with the fat captain of a keelboat, the young man fell into a rage. He stabbed them both before fleeing into the streets. (1.5.11)
Like Glass, Fitzgerald is also a bit revenge-happy, which he further proves by stabbing a guy who beats him at poker at the end of the novel. There are some serious differences between the two men, however. While revenge is simply an impulsive, violent act for Fitzgerald, it's a moral imperative for Glass. He's a man on a mission.
