Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "I am a young wizard from the late 20th century. I was orphaned when the greatest Dark Wizard of my time killed my parents, who died trying to protect me. I am characterized by scruffy dark hair, emerald eyes and glasses. I do not wish to mention my most obvious feature. Who am I?"

Answer: Harry Potter

Harry Potter is the creation of the famous author J.K. Rowling, and has been a hit amongst young and old readers. The series of books has drawn praise for its original storytelling and symbolic references, but has also received criticism from Christian leaders for encouraging and promoting witchcraft.
2. "People call me many things: stupid, silly, hysterical and vain. My husband uses me for his entertainment. My poor nerves can't stand all this fussing. After all, I just want to see my five daughters married." Which of these characters might have made that statement,and which author created her?

Answer: Mrs. Bennet; Jane Austen

"Pride and Prejudice" is perhaps one of the most famous classical novels of this millennium. It has been adapted into film several times, including the Academy Award nominated version staring Kiera Knightly. It is also widely used around the world as a literary text for young students, due to its witty characters (Mrs Bennet) and its portrayal of English snobbery and society.
3. "I am only 13 years old, yet I am a beauty. My father wants me to marry Paris, yet I love the son of my father's enemy. Oh what shall I do? I think I will kill myself with a dagger!" Which heroine created by which famed author might have spoken these words?

Answer: Juliet Capulet; Shakespeare

"Romeo and Juliet" is a tale of love, betrayal, human flaws and fate. It is perhaps the most famous romantic tragedy of all time, and explores the cores of human emotion and teenage romance. Juliet Capulet represents an extreme lover; one who is willing to die for a man she'd known for only three days at most.
4. "Children want to stay in their childhood, and that is achievable. Especially if you have the help of my dear friend Tinkerbell. (Who's a fairy by-the-way!) Who am I?"

Answer: Peter Pan, created by James Matthew Barrie

The tale of Peter Pan of Neverland and his gang of 'The Lost Boys' symbolizes that one always remains a child at heart, and that childhood innocence is just waiting in there to be explored, to be cherished.
5. "Before Sauron there was I, the most evil spirit on Arda. I was once a God stronger than Manwe himself, but now I have been cast into the void." Who might have said this, and which author wrote of him?

Answer: Melkor; J.R.R. Tolkien

Melkor, or Morgoth Bauglir ('Dark Enemy Tyrant'), was the original incarnation of evil in JRR Tolkien's books "The Silmarillion" and "The Unfinished Tales" whom the elves fought against in the First Age. The deeds of the era far outstripped the wars fought in Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings", since during that time the elves were many and still retained much of their power and prowess.
6. "Although I do what all children dream to do, that is, become a teenage spy for MI6, I just wish to be an ordinary teenager. However, I cannot escape from the legacy of my father and uncle, who were spies as well. What is my name, and that of the author who created me?"

Answer: Alex Rider; Anthony Horowitz

Alex Rider's adventures are always filled with action as the teenage spy (who never seem to turn 15) goes on missions across the globe and out into space, from Cornwall to France to Cuba. This series shows that even the so-called 'dream jobs' have more drawbacks than the glamour associated with them.
7. "I was a young sailor, full of promise, but with too many enemies. That proved to be my undoing, for during my wedding, I was falsely arrested for being a Bonapartist agent and thrown into prison. But I managed to escape and revenge myself upon those who'd wronged me." Who created which character that might have said this?

Answer: Alexander Dumas created Edmond Dantes

"The Count of Monte Cristo" is a story about betrayal, vengeance, justice and forgiveness, as Dantes, as the Count, eventually destroys the people who'd put him in prison and while doing so rewards those who'd helped him.
8. "I am a mighty sovereign, the rightful Lord of Narnia. I am immortal and wise- don't ever call me puss. Who am I, and who wrote the books in which you can read about me?"

Answer: Aslan; C.S. Lewis

Written between 1949 and 1954, "The Chronicles of Narnia" are now considered by some as a classic series, in part because of their many allusions to Christian ideas (exploited by CS Lewis, a devout Christian) such as sacrifice and redemption. "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" was adapted into film in 2005.
9. "My love for Heathcliff transcends all boundaries! Yet it destroyed the lives of others. My failure to embrace Heathcliff, my true love, led to my demise; Heathcliff's thirst for revenge ravaged my daughter's life. Who am I?"

Answer: Catherine Earnshaw; Emily Bronte

"Wuthering Heights" is Emily Bronte's only work; it is now regarded as one of the Classics of English Literature. This book is filled with Gothic themes such as darkness, supernatural elements and symbolism. Heathcliff and Catherine's obsessive attraction to each other is an example of how love and vengeance can affect the lives of generations to come.
10. "People say that I am a ghost. I, who'd been a misfit since I was born! I am an Opus Dei monk with pale skin and red eyes. The Teacher promised me many things- but then he betrayed me! What is my name, and the name of the author who created me?"

Answer: Silas; Dan Brown

"The Da Vinci Code" is a highly controversial book about the supposed theory that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, who had a baby and fled to France after his crucifixion. Hence Jesus's bloodline is the so called 'Holy Grail', and it is the job of a sect called the Priory of Sion to protect it. Dan Brown incorporates murder, thrills and a touch of romance to the book which became a bestseller, and the heart of a lawsuit in 2006.
11. "SQUEAK SQUEAK, SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK, SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK! SQUEAK SQUEAK." What character might be seen to communicate in this fashion?

Answer: Death of Rats from Terry Pratchett

Terry Prachett is best known for his parodies on famous works of literature, fairy tales and themes, mainly set in the imaginary Discworld. For example, in the book "Hogsfather", Prachett examines the reason behind Santa Claus and other beings (Tooth fairy), and that belief in their existence is more powerful than any other force.
12. "I wanted to be a knight, so what's wrong with that? Quite a lot, actually, since I am a girl. But never fear! I'll just disguise myself as a boy and take my brother's place. We all look the same after all: copper hair and violet eyes. What could go wrong?"

Answer: Alanna; Tamora Pierce

"The Song of the Lioness" was Tamora Pierce's first series about magic and romance set in the fictional realm of Tortall, which became an instant success. It first found its audience with teenage girls, who all dream of 'doing an Alanna' and breaking out of the women's stereotypical role in society in order to follow one's dreams.
13. "Don't scorn us just because we are children, and have funny names. We British kids are smart and brave, and solve a lot of mysteries. Oh, and we have a beautiful dog named Timmy, short for Timothy."

Answer: The Famous Five; Enid Blyton

Julian, Dick, Anne, Georgia (George) and Timothy the dog are a group of British kids who go on many adventures and help bring many criminals to justice. They incorporate the essence of what it meant to be British children (Golly!) including picnics, dreaded Latin classes and the thirst for exploration.
14. "I thought I was just an ordinary farm boy; clearly I was wrong. With sandy hair and a white mark on my palm, I am the heir to the Rivan Throne. I am also the Child of Light and, aided by my grandfather, aunt and wife, I plan to save all creation. Who am I?"

Answer: Belgarion; David Eddings

David Eddings is considered to be one of the most popular Fantasy authors of this century, although his repeating themes and story lines has drawn criticism in the past couple of years with his series "The Dreamers". To date, "The Belgariad" is perhaps his best series, due to the witty humor and light style which sets his work apart from other fantasy authors.
15. "Little girl! Little girl! If you are reading this, then hear my words! Never listen to the Big Bad Wolf, especially if you like the color red. Who am I?"

Answer: Little Red Riding Hood

"Little Red Riding hood" is a classic story known to kids all around the world. Mothers tell their child this tale in order to educate and warn them about the dangers of associating with strangers.
