Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Why does Mr. Woodhouse call Mrs. Weston 'poor Miss Taylor'?

Answer: because he wishes she had never married

Mr. Woodhouse is a kind but fretful invalid who dislikes change. Thus he isn't a fan of marriage. In calling Weston's happy bride 'poor Miss Taylor,' he is attributing his own feelings to her.

2. Why is Emma a little difficult to like during the first half of the book?

By trying to make a match between Harriet and Mr. Elton, Emma almost ruins the younger girl's prospects and exposes her to heartache and ridicule.

Gruel, as far as I can tell, is a watery porridge-type substance.

4. Why doesn't Mr. Knightley think Miss Smith is a good companion for Emma?

Answer: He doesn't think the young women will do each other any good.

Mr. Knightley doesn't think Emma will benefit from having an adoring admirer, and he thinks Emma may raise Harriet's expectations too high.

5. Emma's sister's name is?

Answer: Isabella

Isabella Woodhouse Knightley is a kind, but not overly intelligent woman who's anxious about health isssues like her father. There's another Isabella (Thorpe) in Northanger Abbey--but she's a creep.

Answer: Miss Bates's

In so many words, Emma tells Miss Bates that the older woman is a silly chatterbox.

7. Why do Jane and Frank keep their engagement secret?

Harriet goes back to her first love interest, after falling in and out of love with Mr. Elton and Mr. Knightley.

Neither Emma nor Mr. Knightley wishes to disrupt Mr. Woodhouse's life unduly.

10. What finally convinces Mr. Woodhouse that Emma and Mr. Knightley should marry?

Answer: Mrs. Weston's turkeys are stolen.

After the news about the Westons' turkeys, Mr. Woodhouse becomes deathly afraid of 'house-breakers.' Mr. Knightley plans to move to Hartfield once he and Emma marry. In order to acquire a live-in protector, Mr. Woodhouse decides he can tolerate their marriage.
