Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The novel begins with exciting news for our heroines, Jane and Elizabeth Bennet. In fact, Gertrude and Bertie, ducks on the Bennet family estate, have been hearing some funny "quacks" from the ducks at Netherfield Park: Netherfield has been let at last! Who, as we learn in the beginning of the novel from Mrs. Bennet, is the new tenant of Netherfield?

Answer: Charles Bingley

 The name "Netherfield" suggests some far-off place, removed from the hustle and bustle of Longbourn and the adjacent village of Meryton and thus more suitably "refined" for the elegant likes of the Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley, and his haughty sisters, Caroline and Louisa.
2. Troubled by the rumor that the new arrivals at Netherfield are just in time for the shooting and hunting season, Gertrude and Bertie guide us away to the familiar domestic comforts of the Bennet estate, which is located in which village or neighborhood?

Answer: Longbourn

 The Bennett estate, Longbourn House, is located in Longbourn, a fictitious village in Hertfordshire, which geographically speaking, is at the "heart" of the novel's main action. Meryton is the nearest township.
3. Gertrude and Bertie are extremely excited. Jane Bennet had been invited to dine with Mr. Bingley's sisters and will hopefully catch up on her flirtation with the charming Mr. Bingley herself. Eavesdropping on the dinner, however, Gertrude and Bertie are offended by the haughty Bingley sisters, who laugh at the fact that Jane has relatives who live in which place?

Answer: Cheapside

 Cheapside, where Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, Mrs. Bennet's brother and sister-in-law live, is an actual street in London and is ingeniously used by Jane Austen to expose class prejudice in 18th and early 19th century England. Later in the novel, the Gardiners, one of the few happily married couples in the Austen canon, will play a pivotal role in uniting Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy.
4. When Elizabeth and Jane return from their stay at Netherfield, Gertrude and Bertie hear an exciting rumor: Mr. Bennet's cousin Mr. Collins is arriving for a visit. Quaaaack! Where, however, does Mr. Collins make his "humble abode?"

Answer: a living, Hunsford

 As we are constantly reminded by Mr. Collins, the living is a consequence of the extraordinary generosity of his "esteemed patroness," one Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
5. Quuaaack! Gertrude and Bertie are in shock. Mr. Darcy proposed to Elizabeth. But where was Mr. Darcy staying when this first marriage proposal took place?

Answer: Rosings

 An opulent estate, Rosings tends however to be on the garish side, the perfect setting for an unsuccessful marriage proposal.
6. Gertrude and Bertie are beside themselves with joy. Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner are taking Elizabeth on a holiday trip. Where did they propose to take this trip?

Answer: The Lake District

 At the last minute, they cancelled, taking a shorter trip to Derbyshire instead, ironically reuniting Elizabeth with Mr. Darcy.
7. Gertrude and Bertie cannot believe their eyes. Like Elizabeth, they are enchanted with the beautiful grounds at which estate, owned by Mr. Darcy?

Answer: Pemberley

 Far more tastefully landscaped and decorated than Rosings, Pemberley gives Elizabeth a concrete clue to Mr. Darcy's generous nature.
8. Gertrude and Bertie are in an an uproar. Lydia has run away with the villainous Mr. Wickham. Like Elizabeth, Lydia had been away from home. Where had Lydia been travelling when this event took place?

Answer: Brighton

 Today, Brighton is the main hub in the municipality of Brighton and Hove in East Sussex, on the south coast of England.
9. Gertrude and Bertie are scandalized. Mr. Wickham won't marry Lydia without a dowry. Who intervenes to provide financial support so that the marriage can take place?

Answer: Mr. Darcy

 Despite having made a profoundly generous gesture on behalf of Elizabeth's family, Mr. Darcy is anxious that the Gardiners not reveal this gesture to Elizabeth or her family.
10. Quack! Gertrude and Bertie are overjoyed. Mr. Darcy has proposed to Elizabeth again, and she said yes. Who, however, remained as the final impediment to their engagement?

Answer: Lady Catherine

 Jane Austen does not fail to provide the reader with one of the "happy endings" which famously conclude all of her novels.
