Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "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?

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."
2. "I take no leave of you, Miss Bennet. I send no compliments to your mother." Who made this uncivil declaration?

Answer: Lady Catherine

She intends this as a grave insult, but its effect is comic.
3. "It has been coming on me so gradually that I hardly know when it began. But I believe it must date from my first seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberley." What lady said this?

Answer: Elizabeth

She says this in response to Jane's question about how long Elizabeth has loved Darcy.
4. "Oh, hang Kitty! What has she to do with it?" Who exclaimed these words in a fit of frenzy?

Answer: Mrs. Bennet

When Bingley calls one morning before anyone is dressed, Jane suggests that Sarah, the lady's maid, help Kitty finish dressing first, since she is furthest along. This does not play into Mrs. Bennet's schemes for Bingley to propose to Jane.
5. "Your family owe me nothing. Much as I respect them, I believe, I thought only of you." Which young gallant expressed these sentiments?

Answer: Darcy

By the end of the novel, Darcy realizes that this is a far better way to open a marriage proposal than, "In vain have I struggled. It will not do."
6. "Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us." Who made this observation?

Answer: Mary

Mary moralizes on the sin of pride after Elizabeth says of Darcy, "I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine."
7. "I have bought this bonnet. I do not think it is very pretty; but I thought I might as well buy it as not. I shall pull it to pieces as soon as I get home." What silly girl said this?

Answer: Lydia

Lydia says this to Jane and Elizabeth after claiming that she and Kitty mean to treat them to lunch; but Jane and Elizabeth must lend them the money, because she and Kitty have spent all theirs.
8. "It is usual with young ladies to reject the addresses of the man whom they secretly mean to accept, when he first applies for their favor." Who spoke these words?

Answer: Mr. Collins

This is his pompous and utterly deluded reaction to Elizabeth's rejecting his proposal.
9. "My dear Eliza, he must be in love with you, or he never would have called on us in this familiar way." What character displayed this insight?

Answer: Charlotte

While Elizabeth visits her friend at Hunsford, Charlotte sees what Elizabeth does not-that Darcy is falling in love.
10. "She a beauty!-I should as soon call her mother a wit." What character said this, quoting another?

Answer: Miss Bingley, quoting Mr. Darcy

When Caroline reminds Darcy of his first impression of Elizabeth, he replies, "That was only when I first knew her, for it is many months since I have considered her as one of the handsomest women of my acquaintance."
