Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the 'S and S' film, who played Marianne?

Answer: Kate Winslet

She's the same one who starred in 'Titanic,' remember?

2. What are the Dashwood sisters' names, from eldest to youngest?

Answer: Elinor, Marianne, Margaret

In my opinion, the Margaret in the movie was more interesting than the book character.

3. Which of her daughters does Mrs. Dashwood most closely resemble, in terms of temperament?

Answer: Marianne

Elinor is the sensible one. Marianne and Mrs. Dashwood show their emotions more openly.

4. Edward Ferrars seems to fall in love with Elinor soon after they meet. Why doesn't he propose to her?

Answer: He's engaged to someone else.

Edward is engaged to Lucy Steele.

5. Which words best describe Mrs. John Dashwood, Elinor's sister-in-law?

Answer: selfish and proud

Mrs. John Dashwood doesn't want her husband to keep his promise to his dying father, so their half-brother ends up giving his half-sisters and step-mother no money at all.

6. What's the connection between Col. Brandon and Willoughby?

Answer: Willoughby seduces Brandon's ward.

Brandon was in love with his brother's wife. She ran away and had a child out of wedlock. The baby girl became Brandon's ward. When she grew up, Willoughby seduced her and she became pregnant.

Mrs. Jennings is Sir John Middleton's mother-in-law. She's also Mr. Palmer's mother-in-law.

Answer: sardonic

Mr. Palmer is married to his opposite: the silly chatterbox Charlotte.

9. What happens in the book but does NOT happen in the movie?

Answer: Willoughby comes to Cleveland while Marianne is ill.

In the book, there's an intense night-time scene at Cleveland. Willoughby rides over from his country house to find out whether Marianne is dying. Elinor chews him out, and he explains why he jilted poor Marianne.

10. Which describes the Margaret character in the movie (but is *not* true in the book)?

Answer: She loves geography.

When they were looking for an actor to play Hermione in the Harry Potter movie, I thought the girl who played Margaret in 'S and S' would be good--but alas, she had gotten too old.
