Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who is described as having hair that is "beautiful" and as "yellow as corn"?

Answer: Rapunzel

Rapunzel's Prince describes her hair to his brother, for he has to climb it to visit her in her tower.

2. In a scene in Act One, the Narrator says of two characters that "it had been a full day of eating for both". Who is he talking about?

Answer: Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf

Red eats all sorts of treats which are supposedly for her Granny. The Wolf, on the other hand, eats Red and her Granny. Temporarily.

3. Cinderella's stepsisters are described by the Narrator as beautiful.

Answer: True

It's true, at least in terms of physical beauty. Cinderella's stepmother and her two stepsisters are said to be beauties, but are "vile and black of heart."

4. In the Prologue, when one of the characters is introduced, it is with the words "well, she was not quite beautiful." Who is being described?

Answer: Jack's Mother

Poor woman, time has not been kind to her. After her introduction, she sings, "I wish a lot of things..."

5. Which character with "carrot top hair" is described as having a disposition that is "sunny, if occasionally vague"?

Answer: Jack

His own mother describes Jack in this way to the Baker's Wife. She doesn't have a good word to say for her son until his life is threatened.

6. Cinderella's Prince compliments someone as he bids goodbye to them. "How brave you are to be alone in these Woods." Who is the brave person he's talking to?

Answer: The Baker's Wife

What makes the compliment particularly surprising is that he's already had his wicked way with her, so he has no need to flatter.

7. Showing a member of the lower classes in at the palace, the Steward says "this little man insists on seeing you." Which little man?

Answer: The Baker

The Steward is extremely dismissive of the Baker, who has come to warn the royal family that a giant is on the loose.

8. Who or what does Jack's Mother claim will never strike the same house twice?

Answer: Giants

Unfortunately, she is wrong. The Giant(ess) seems to strike all the houses at least once, some more than once.

9. Who calls Jack "Mr Liar", a name that hurts his pride and causes him to climb the beanstalk again for more treasure?

Answer: Little Red Riding Hood

She calls him a liar because she doesn't believe his stories about the giants' kingdom at the top of the beanstalk. It doesn't end well...

10. Who is described by their relative as a "clod"?

Answer: Cinderella

Florinda calls her step-sister Cinderella a clod for twisting her hair up too tight.

11. Cinderella's Prince admits he was not raised to be sincere. What WAS he raised to be?

Answer: Charming

Once of the last things he says to Cinderella before they part is: "I was raised to be charming, not sincere."

Answer: The Mysterious Man

The Mysterious Man also describes himself as seeming "mysterious" and "delirious". However, he is at pains to point out that all these impressions are wrong: "But when explained, I am nothing serious."

13. Not much worries the Witch, but one threat does make her nervous, because it "has a brain" and is "hard to outwit". Who or what is she talking about?

Answer: The Giant

All four have brains, of course, but it is the Giant's brains which worry the Witch. The Giant, she points out is "so big that we are just an expendable bug beneath its foot". Something that big which has brains is enough to be of concern even to the Witch.

14. Who is described as "not one of us" when the characters are trying to decide what to do about the threat of the Giant?

Answer: The Narrator

The Narrator is not, he insists, a participant in the plot - he stands outside the action as an objective observer. Unfortunately, as he is not one of the group, this makes him an easy choice as a sacrifice to the Giant.

15. Who or what does Rapunzel's Prince say are "very upsetting"?

Answer: Dwarfs

This is what makes his pursuit of Snow White very tricky - there are dwarfs (not dwarves - he correct his brother in this faux pas) standing guard over her, and our Prince just cannot cope with them.
