Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the tragic weakness of Annette, the French scullery maid (Hint: She was the most beautiful woman in the world when Buttercup was born)?

Answer: Chocolate

The Duchess de Guiche placed chocolates around the castle because she knew that Annette couldn't resist them. Annette ate all of the chocolates and became fat.

2. Where was Fezzik's real might?

Fezzik's brain was quite weak. He did have a good heart and his legs were incredibly strong, but his true might was in his arms, which would never tire no matter what they had to do.

3. ORIGINALLY, what was the only response that Westley could get from the albino (This changed later, but at first, Westley could only get one response from him)?

The original Dread Pirate Roberts had been retired for 15 years and was living like a king in Patagonia when Westley inherited his throne.
