Quote #4

"I will surely come," said Mowgli, "and when I come it will be to lay out Shere Khan's hide upon the Council Rock." (1.145)

Here we see that Mowgli has drunk the animals' Kool-Aid about how it's his destiny to kill Shere Khan. The wolves want him to do it; Bagheera wants him to do it; and by this point, Shere Khan's big mouth has made Mowgli want to do it anyway.

Quote #5

Now a snake, especially a wary old python like Kaa, very seldom shows that he is angry, but Baloo and Bagheera could see the big swallowing-muscles on either side of Kaa's throat ripple and bulge. (3.73)

Kaa is plotting his revenge against the Bandar-log, and it's going to be fierce. They called him names, but it looks like he's going to swallow them whole. Words may never hurt you, but they may cause a giant snake to come out of the jungle and eat you.

Quote #6

"When [Shere Khan] returns he swears that he will lay thy bones in the Waingunga." (5.18)

Shere Khan just can't let it go. Even after Mowgli leaves the Wolf Pack, Shere Khan is determined to get the man-cub snack that escaped him years ago.
