Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which one of these four was taken prisoner by the French Army in the war of 1812?

Answer: Pierre

Pierre was the illegitimate son of Count Kiril Vladimirovich Bezukhov, but surprisingly became the heir of the Bezukhov estate. All other three died in the bloody war.

2. This dashing, daring and intelligent but arrogant prince fought bravely against French twice in the book. He was injured and taken prisoner in the first and killed in the latter. Who is he?

Answer: Andrei Bolkonsky

He is one of my all-time favorite characters. It was a pity that a great young man like him died so early in the war.

3. This extremely beautiful and intelligent daughter of Count Ilya Andreyevich Rostov married Pierre after Prince Andrei Bolkonsky's death. Who is she?

Answer: Natasha

Natasha was a foolish little girl when she feel in love with Prince Andrei. She made mistakes like all young people do. Prince finally forgave her for her foolishness, although it was a little too late.

4. She took good care of Prince Andrei's son, little Nikolei, as if he is her own child. Who is she?

Answer: Marya

Daughter of Prince Nikolai Andreyevich Bolkonsky and brother
of Andrei, she is plain in looks but well educated and sensible.
She performs all her duties to the best of her abilities; as a
devoted daughter to her moody father, dutiful guardian to her
nephew, loving sister to Andrei and understanding wife to
Nikolai.

5. Is it true that Lisa Bolkonskaya gave birth to Prince Andrei's only son?

Answer: Yes

Three of the four Bolkonsky family members died in the book. It is sad for one to realize that.

6. He was a fearless soldier during the war and settled for farming after his marriage. Who is he?

Answer: Nikolei Rostov

He finally found his true love in Marya. Sonya acted surprisingly generous letting go of Nikolei.

7. This young man ruined prince Andrei's engagement with the daughter of Count Rostov. Who is he?

Answer: Anatol Kuragin

Prince Andrei forgave him for what he had done when he saw Anatol had his leg amputated.

8. Who did Count Bezukhov engaged in a dual with over his wife Elena's alleged affair.

Answer: Dolohov

Again, they forgave each other. Leo Tolstoy made his point very clearly that one should give generous forgiveness for a meaningful life in return.

9. Who was the Commander in Chief of the Russia Army?

Answer: General Kutuzov

The old man knows exactly how to fight wars.

10. Who was the Command in Chief of the French Army?

Answer: Napoleon Bonaparte

He was a military genius, but the invasion of Russia was a huge mistake. Ironically Adolf Hitler made the same mistake all over again years later.
