Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the main character's name?

Answer: Equality 7-2521

I wonder if Rand did this on purpose. She gave her main character the name Equality, when nothing in his society was equal.

2. Where do the Old Ones live?

Answer: Home of the Useless

While we don't call them "useless" I think that is how our society feels about the elderly. We put them in nursing homes and just leave them there for the most part. Rand was very insightful.

3. What was the main character guilty of?

Answer: Transgression of Preference

At the council where they decided what job a person would have, Equality desired to go to the House of Scholars.

4. The main character wished to be sent to the House of Scholars.

Answer: True

Equality always had a desire to learn and study that he had to hide for fear of punishment. But he secretly dreamed of going to the House of Scholars so he could discover ways to help his society.

5. What job was the main character given?

Answer: Street Sweeper

When the council pronounced him street sweeper, Equality asked if they had made a mistake.

Answer: A hole

He found what was probably the remains of some type of sewer grate.

Answer: Electricity

He made the wires glow and the glow gave off a light. He took this box to the council.

10. What happened when the main character took his box to the World Council of Scholars?

Answer: They rejected it

Instead of embracing his experiment as something that could better their society they destroyed it.

11. The main character went to get the woman to run away with him.

Answer: False

Golden One ran away to find Equality when she heard he ran away.

12. What is the sacred word?

Answer: Ego

This small word held such power in a society that allowed no ego.

Answer: In books

There was a library in the house Equality and Golden One find. Equality begins to read them and discovers individuality.

14. What did the main character rename himself?

Answer: Prometheus

Equality brought a new type of fire to his world, just as Prometheus brought fire to humans.

15. What did the main character rename the woman after their escape?
