Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who said of the character of Elizabeth Bennet, "I must confess that I think her as delightful a character as ever appeared in print...?"

Answer: Jane Austen

Ms. Austen goes on to say..."and how I shall ever be able to tolerate those who do not like HER at least, I do not know."
She was quoted as saying this soon after "Pride and Prejudice" was published. She was speaking, of course, of the character of Elizabeth Bennet.

2. Mr. Bennet did nothing to hide the fact that Elizabeth was his favourite daughter. To Mrs. Bennet, however, Elizabeth was the 'least dear' of all her children. True or false?

Answer: True

Yes, this is true. When Mr. Collins proposed to Elizabeth, Mrs. Bennet was in favour of the match because she considered him 'good enough for Lizzy'.

3. Which of the following would NOT accurately describe Elizabeth?

Answer: haughty

Mr. Bennet thought her 'quicker' than her sisters. Mr. Collins admired her wittiness and vivacity. The author refers to her as playful and lively.

4. During the book, there is reference made to Elizabeth's eyes. How are they described?

Answer: dark & fine

When Mr. Darcy allowed himself to see Elizabeth without prejudice, he began to find her face "rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes."

5. To Elizabeth's family she was "Lizzy". The story's narrator refers to her as Elizabeth. What did friends and acquaintances call her?

Answer: Eliza

(The narrator referred to Jane as 'Miss Bennet' as she was the eldest.) Mr. Darcy, at the end of the book, called her 'loveliest Elizabeth' :-)

6. The novel gives Elizabeth's age. How old is she?

Answer: 20

Lady Catherine told Elizabeth that she offered her opinion very decidedly for such a young person and inquired as to Elizabeth's age. Elizabeth replied that she was "not one-and-twenty".

7. Who portrayed Elizabeth Bennet in the 1995-96 BBC/A&E television production of "Pride and Prejudice"?

Answer: Jennifer Ehle

Jennifer Ehle played Elizabeth Bennet opposite Colin Firth's Mr. Darcy. Jennifer won a British Academy Award for her portrayal of Elizabeth.

Answer: Mr . Collins

Elizabeth was showing her good sense of humour by being facetious!;)

9. In what month did Mr. Darcy first propose to Elizabeth?

Answer: April

"You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are what they were last April, tell me so at once. MY affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this subject forever." (Darcy's second proposal to Elizabeth.)

10. To whom did Elizabeth first confide of her engagement to Darcy?

Answer: Jane

Jane at first did not believe Elizabeth, but upon being convinced of the engagement, was thrilled for her sister. News of the engagement distressed Mr. Bennet until Lizzy could convince him of her true love for Darcy and of his goodness. Mrs. Bennet, of course, thought only of Darcy's money!
