Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What does "3rd Man" claim to have committed in the Prologue?

Answer: Parricide

As 3rd Man is dying he shouts at the top of his voice "I've been a parricide."

2. Who dies in the "Hospital Scene"?

Answer: Alexander

Alexander dies in bed at peace with his wife, his old friend Emile and Jacques. Alexander is the first in the play not to die of the plague.

3. What is the name of the plague in "Killing Game"?

Answer: It Is never revealed

Information about the plague is vague at best, and there are no constant symptoms. It could be argued though that the plague can be caught through greed or fear.

4. Throughout the play, how many politicians make speeches?

Answer: Four

In the second scene (titled 'new scene'), a politician announces to the townspeople that they must barricade themselves indoors if they intend to live through the plague.

The next poitician appears in the scene titled "a new scene". He speaks of revolution through revenge. In the following scene, another politician takes the floor to speak about the need to divide what the dead have left behind.

The fourth politician speaks in the "final scene". He announces that the plague is over.

5. In the "Night Scene", who commits suicide?

Answer: Old Man

A small neighbourhood is in hysterics. The Old Man screams "a society of fools, a city of idiots". Shortly after, the police arrive threatening to shoot if anyone moves. The Old Man calls the police idiots and shoots himself. The police then decide to kill the remaining people who are alive.

6. Finish this character's name. The Man In ________.

Answer: Black

The Man In Black is a demonic character whom only few can see. Wherever he goes, death comes with him.

7. How does Prisoner #1 die?

Answer: Drowns

Prisoner #1 attempts to escape from prison. He jumps out his cell and into the river below. Everything is going ok until the rats start attacking him and he drowns.

Prisoner #2 is then shot dead by the Warden.

8. There is a scene which has been cut out of the play since it was originally performed. What is the name of that scene?

Answer: Cannibals

There are no available editions of the script with this scene included. As a huge fan of the play, all I can do is imagine how good the scene would be!

9. In the "Old Man/Old Woman" scene, who dies?

Answer: The Old Woman

The Old Man hates life while the Old Woman adores everything in the world. In this cruel scene, it is the Old Woman who dies of the plague, leaving her frail husbund to fend for himself.

10. After it is announced that the plague is over, what kills everyone else?

Answer: A Fire

A member of the City Council announces that the plague is over. Everyone is relieved and in shock at what they have survived, but the Man In Black returns and brings fire with him to kill the remaining citizens.
