Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "His family knew him to be, on all common occasions, a most negligent and dilatory correspondent;" To which main character does this quote refer?

Answer: Mr. Bennet

Despite his appearance of good humour, Mr Bennet is often observed to neglect his family's needs and could be regarded as irresponsible.

Answer: Mrs. Philips

Mrs. Bennet's sister, Mrs. Philips, is a frequent visitor at Longbourn and often brings news or gossip from the nearby village.

3. "A couple who were only brought together because their passions were stronger than their virtue," - which two characters are described here?

Answer: Lydia Bennet and Mr. Wickham

When the youngest Miss Bennet elopes and leaves Brighton with the infamous Mr. Wickham, she is entirely ignorant of the fact that the whole of her close-knit society is soon to frown upon her behviour!

4. "[He]entered into conversation directly with the readiness and ease of a well-bred man". Which "Pride and Prejudice" character, described here, does Lizzy find so agreeable?

Elizabeth first meets Colonel Fitzwilliam during her stay in Kent and his good manners and lively personality - so unlike those of his cousin - easily recommend him to everyone he meets.

5. "Vain, ignorant, idle, and absolutely uncontrolled". Which of her female family members is Elizabeth describing?

Answer: Kitty

When her youngest sister is invited to go to Brighton with her friend Mrs. Forster, Elizabeth attempts, in vain, to make her father aware of the effects this might have on her other sister, Kitty. Mr. Bennet, however, is entirely ignorant of the dangers which might arise in consequence.

6. "[She] piqued herself upon the solidity of her reflections". Which of the characters is being described here?

The Lucases live within a short distance of the Bennets' home, and the two families meet frequently throughout the novel.

8. "Elizabeth still saw superciliousness in their treatment of everybody, hardly excepting even her sister," - which two characters does Elizabeth find so hard to like?

9. "Much better fitted for a walker, than a reader". Which of Lizzy's relations does this quote describe?

Answer: Mr. Collins

Mr. Collins decides to join his young cousins in a walk to Meryton and Mr Bennet, who always prefers to have his study to himself, is only too glad to see him go!

10. "She is all affability and condescension," - which female character from the novel is Mr. Collins describing?

Answer: Lady Catherine

Despite her obvious arrogance and bad manners, Mr Collins maintains a firm belief that his patroness, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, is a wonderfully well-bred and amiable woman!
