Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. To start, a famous speech. Who said "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players..."?

Answer: Jaques

There are two Jaques in this play. This one is a melancholy lord attending to Duke Senior, the other is Jaques de Boys, the brother of Oliver and Orlando.

2. Rosalind is tall.

Answer: True

Rosalind says that she is "more than common tall" when they are planning to run away. This means that she can dress as a boy to protect them.

3. Who sings "Under the Greenwood Tree"?

Answer: Amiens

"Under the Greenwood Tree" is also the title of Thomas Hardy's second novel. It focuses on the Mellstock village choir, which we meet as they are preparing to perform carols for their neighbors on Christmas Eve.

4. What is Celia's name when she dresses up as a peasant?

Answer: Aliena

Aliena is chosen because it "has a reference to my [Celia's] state". This is because she is alienating herself from her father and court.

5. Who does Rosalind say she is upset for, just before she is banished by her uncle?

Answer: Orlando and her father

When asked by Celia if she was sad only for her father (act I scene iii), she replies "No, some of it is for my child's father."

6. Oliver "hangs verses on trees, wherein Rosalind is so admired."

Answer: False

Orlando was the one who hung poems on trees, and Oliver, his brother, was in love with Celia.

7. What is 'Ganymede's' explanation for having an accent finer than would be expected of a peasant?

Answer: His uncle, an inland man, taught him to speak

This is the scene where 'Ganymede' first meets Orlando and 'he' has to do some quick thinking to hold his story together.

8. Who does Phebe end up marrying?

Answer: Silvius

Silvius has always loved Phebe, but she did not return this favour. She than falls in love with 'Ganymede'. Before she makes her true identity known, 'Ganymede' promises that he will marry Phebe if she marries a woman, but if Phebe refuses (as she will when it is known that he is a she) she must marry Silvius. And so all ends happily.

9. Who competes (and fails) with Touchstone for the hand of Audrey?

Answer: William

When William comes along, Touchstone makes short work of him by chasing him away.

10. In the epilogue, 'Rosalind' hints that she is really a man.

Answer: True

In Shakespeare's day, women were not allowed to act. Ganymede would have been a man (the actor) dressed as a woman (Rosalind) dressed as a man (Ganymede) and the epilogue accentuates this irony.
