Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? Quiz

Answer: Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?

However formidable an opponent General James Wolfe(1727-1759) may have been to the French at Quebec, he does not occur as a bogeyman in nursery rhymes or in a children's song. "Who's afraid of the big bad wolf" is from a Walt Disney animated-cartoon version of "The Three Little Pigs".
By the way, General Wolf has his statue on top of the same hill as the "Old Greenwich Royal Observatory" in London.

Answer: History Lecturer

Martha's Dad is the Head of the Board of Directors. George has been
"encouraged" to make an administrative career in the same way as his father-in-law, but he is too sceptical about himself, his marriage, and life in general ever to be able to make a real effort.

Answer: biologist

For contrast and balance, Albee opposes an alpha-scholar to a beta-scientist. Nick and Honey as a couple are also more matter-of-fact than George and Martha, who are hiding in a complicated maze of games in which they finally lose direction.

Answer: True

Martha, who is disappointed about George, their marriage, and their inability to have a baby, is trying to divert herself in more than one way. Flirting is one of them, and Nick, being new as a staff member, might be an interesting experience.

Answer: False

He is completely indifferent to such a career, and even to any career in general.

Answer: sees her as a stepping-stone in his career

Nick had married Honey because he was under the impression that he had gotten her pregnant. Martha does not interest him too much as a woman, but she might be useful to him as "the daughter of the boss".
All the singing Martha does is her version of "who's afraid of the big bad wolf?"

Answer: she has broken of several pregnancies without telling Nick

What went wrong in Nick's and Honey's marriage is very obvious: there was not any love right from the start. Honey, not having the consolation of a baby, puts her into a similar position as Martha. She, too, tries to cover up her secret, but without the fantasy-world of the more literary couple George and Martha.

In George and Martha's situation there seems to have been some mutual love initially. What brought down their marriage remains open for interpretation. Frustration on both sides?

Answer: humiliating each other

The first stage in their "Fun And Games" is "Humiliating The Host". The second stage is "Get the Guests".

Answer: sits and reads a book

The third stage of "Fun And Games" was "Hurt the Guests". But Nick's reactions to Honey's anger leads all of them astray on a path of relentless agression. While George is trying to ignore Martha's misbehaviour, his rage is brewing. He knows perfectly how to hurt his wife the most viciously: by destroying the illusion of motherhood she has been nurturing until then in spite of her failed marriage.

Answer: they have no son and never had one

In spite of their continuous bickering, George and Martha had tried to compromise somehow with each other. Privately, George let his wife tell him stories about their non-existent son. But the rule was she never was to do so with other people present.

He now traps her into breaking that rule, and punishes her by announcing that their son has been killed in an accident. This is his indirect way of reminding her of the non-existence of such a son and also implies a message that "games of self-consolation" are over.
