"Misery"by Stephen King Trivia Quiz

Answer: Cuts his foot off

In the movie, Annie Wilkes puts a brick between his legs and hits his ankles with a sledgehammer. She tells Paul a story about people who worked at a mine and got into trouble. She says that their feet were cut off so that they couldn't run away but could still work.

She doesn't want Paul to escape, so she cuts his foot off. Later on in the story, she cuts his thumb off, but she doesn't call that "hobbling".

Answer: She tripped over a cat on the stairs.

Annie was really the one that killed her, but the newspaper believed the story about her tripping on the stairs. Paul read this in horror as he looked at Annie's scrapbook called "Memory Lane".

Answer: Paul

When Paul was reading "Memory Lane", her brother's name was mentioned. It was shocking to him and a little bit weird. Annie knew that he read her book because she put hairs on it to see if it was opened. When the hairs were gone, she knew that Paul had been out of his room.

Answer: False

He only thought about using the phone. He then decided that Annie probably turned it off so that he couldn't use it. Paul remembered what Annie said about appearances being important. This was at the same time that he stole the pills.

Answer: False

He actually burned a blank pile of papers with a title page that said "Misery's Return, by Paul Sheldon", making Annie think that he destroyed her precious book. Annie was enraged and tried to kill Paul.

Answer: Two

It says a couple of times in the story that he had two unsuccessful marriages. He fools Annie into thinking that he loves her.

Answer: In the baseboard in his room

He first hid it in his pants but then moved it under his mattress. He then decided that the mattress was an obvious place since Annie found both the knife and his stash of Novril there. He hid in in the baseboards the next morning.

Answer: Codeine

Paul gets hooked on this drug and steals some from Annie's bathroom. After he steals some, he stashes it under his mattress. Annie soon finds it and punishes him for it. This is why she hobbles him.

Answer: Coke

When Annie went to her "Laughing Place", Paul was so thirsty that he decided he would drink his own urine! When Annie put Paul into the basement, she gave him a Pepsi. In the beginning of the book, Paul had to drink dirty rag water. He never drank a Coke!

Answer: Have a cigarette and a glass of champagne

Annie memorized this, among many other things about Paul, and agreed to let him have his cigarette. Unfortunately for her, Paul planned to kill her when he lit the match for his cigarette and was successful in doing so.
