Earlier in the book, Jill tries to make excuses for herself and gets in a fight over who is to blame for missing the first sign. Here, however, she shows growth by taking full accountability for her failure, even if she is not the only one to blame. Now that Harfang seems more like a prison than a source of temptation, Jill, Scrubb, and Puddleglum are eager to leave. Even though they still do not know what the giants have planned for them, they all suspect that it is not in their best interest.
