Its more realistic if main characters die. Battles are not like the ones in "Twilight"...bad characters die, good ones live. In truth, there must be sacrifices on both sides of the battle field in order for a victory to be made. Jacques clearly demonstrates this, making Redwall realistic, grippening, saddening, and all around a great book.
