8. (i) : Bluntschli and Raina are talking about the claim that Raina had only two lies in her entire life. Raina had pretended offence that Bluntschli should have forgotten how she had told those two lies only for his sake. Bluntschli had explained that how as a soldier his forgetfulness should be understood. Raina had relied that if what Bluntschli had said was true, soldiers would become incapable of faith and gratitude.
Bluntschli had then responded asking Raina whether she liked gratitude. He had remarked that "If pity is akin to love, gratitude is akin to the other thing".
(ii) : Raina says that Bluntschli is incapable of any noble sentiment because Bluntschli had compared gratitude as being "akin" to "the other thing" - that is the opposite of love - hate. He had expressed a dislike of gratitude. He had said that soldiers take for granted that their lives will be saved in all sorts of ways by all sorts of people and thus don't necessarily express gratitude. He had been explaining his own forgetfulness of Raina having saved him twice,
(iii) : By telling Bluntschli that "even animals are grateful", Raina wishes to tell him that gratitude is intrinsic to every living creature. She was expressing her disgust at him claiming and seeming to be so ungrateful.
(iv) : According to Raina, Bluntschli has a very poor opinion of women because she claimed that he was not surprised to hear her lie. She presumed that Bluntschli thought it was an act she did without hurt to her conscience every day. She had wanted to note that in the matter of honesty women were more honest than men and that it was wrong for him to presume that women told lies at will.
(v) : Bluntschli does not believe Raina's words regarding lies because because he knows that it is not possible for Raina to have only told two lies in her whole life and by saying so she is only pretending to be be a very proper person. He also does not believe her because he has told many more lies in his life.
(vi) : Yes, I agree with Bluntschli's statement that he is quite a straight-forward person because he readily admits that he tells a lot of lies. He also openly challenges Raina about her having told only two lies in her whole life.
