Pride and Prejudice Trivia Questions

1. The main heroine in this book is one of the Bennet girls. Do you know which one?

From Quiz
What Do You Know About "Pride and Prejudice"?

Answer: Elizabeth

Elizabeth Bennet is the second oldest daughter of Mr and Mrs Bennet and is about twenty years old in this story. She is called "Lizzy" by her family. She and her older sister, Jane, are very close.

2. At what time of day did Lady Catherine come to call on Elizabeth and her family at Longbourne?

From Quiz Lady Catherine's Visit

Answer: Early morning

Austen does not give the exact hour, but states that it was too early in the day for visitors. Lady Catherine decides to call upon the Bennets not only unannounced, but at an inopportune time of day. This is consistent with her behavior throughout this episode, which is insolent and impolite in the extreme. She treats Mrs. Bennet and Kitty with appalling rudeness, and makes slighting comments about the size of their park and the situation of the drawing room. Despite her obsession with the dignity and distinction of rank, Lady Catherine's own behavior throughout the novel is quite as bad, in its different way, as that of Elizabeth's mother.

3. Compared to female gossip, Mary Bennet prefers what activity?

From Quiz Minor Characters in Austen's" Pride and Prejudice"

Answer: reading books

Mary, a bit of an intellectual snob, says she would rather read books than be involved in Lydia's excited gossip. In turn, Lydia ignores her.

4. "An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day, you must be a stranger to one of your parents." Who gave our heroine this somber warning?

From Quiz "Pride and Prejudice": Who Said It?

Answer: Mr. Bennet

He continued, "Your mother will never see you again if you do NOT marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you DO."

5. "His family knew him to be, on all common occasions, a most negligent and dilatory correspondent;" To which main character does this quote refer?

From Quiz Pride and Prejudice - Know Your Characters

Answer: Mr. Bennet

Despite his appearance of good humour, Mr Bennet is often observed to neglect his family's needs and could be regarded as irresponsible.

6. Mr. Wickham once asked Lizzy if she went to a certain town. What town was it?

From Quiz Pride and Prejudice

Answer: Kympton

Mr. Wickham told Lizzy that it was the town that he was to make his living in as a clergyman.

7. An easy one: what is the married name of Charles Bingley's sister Louisa?

From Quiz The Ladies of Pride and Prejudice

Answer: Hurst

"At that moment they were met from another walk by Mrs. Hurst and Elizabeth herself. 'I did not know that you intended to walk,' said Miss Bingley, in some confusion, lest they had been overheard. 'You used us abominably ill,' answered Mrs. Hurst, 'running away without telling us that you were coming out.' Then, taking the disengaged arm of Mr. Darcy, she left Elizabeth to walk by herself. The path just admitted three. Mr. Darcy felt their rudeness and immediately said, -- 'This walk is not wide enough for our party. We had better go into the avenue.'"

8. Who did Jane Bennet marry?

From Quiz Pride and Prejudice - Couples and Siblings

Answer: Mr Bingley

The two nicest characters in the book were perfect for each other. Despite his sisters' schemes, they got together in the end.

Answer: Charlotte Lucas

Lizzie could not believe her good friend could possibly exhibit such awful judgment and marry Mr Collins, who in her view, had no redeeming value.

12. Who told Mrs Bennet that Mr Bingley would be moving into Netherfield?

From Quiz Another Pride and Prejudice Quiz!

Answer: Mrs Long

13. The first man to come under Lizzy's spell is, of course, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. However, he didn't always feel like that about her. In fact, when he first met her he refused to dance with her. What word did he use to describe her looks?

From Quiz "Pride and Prejudice": Lizzy's Lovers

Answer: tolerable

"She is tolerable I suppose, but not handsome enough to tempt me. I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men." Ouch.

14. Who said of the character of Elizabeth Bennet, "I must confess that I think her as delightful a character as ever appeared in print...?"

From Quiz Miss Elizabeth Bennet

Answer: Jane Austen

Ms. Austen goes on to say..."and how I shall ever be able to tolerate those who do not like HER at least, I do not know." She was quoted as saying this soon after "Pride and Prejudice" was published. She was speaking, of course, of the character of Elizabeth Bennet.
