Shutter Island Trivia Quiz

Answer: Dr. Sheehan

Sheehan, the "elusive" doctor, is actually in plain sight of Teddy for most of the four days at Shutter Island. He is disguised as Chuck Aule, the partner sent with him on his investigation.

Answer: False

At the beginning, Teddy and Chuck are already on the ferry to the island - a detail that proves to be crucial later.

Answer: She died in a fire in their apartment building.

Teddy tells Chuck that she didn't die from burns from the fire, but that the smoke killed her instead, so "she didn't die in pain," something that seems very important to him.

Answer: Ashecliffe

The full name is Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane, but it is mostly referred to simply as Ashecliffe.

Answer: Two pairs of shoes

He asked Cawley how many pairs of shoes each patient had, and the doctor's answer confirmed his suspicion; Rachel escaped barefoot. Teddy finds this strange because it would be nearly impossible for someone with no shoes to navigate the rocky, thorny terrain that covers most of the island.

Answer: She killed her three kids

Allegedly, she drowned her kids in a lake.

Answer: Andrew Laeddis

Part of Rachel's code, it refers to the 67th patient of Ashecliffe, of whom there is apparently no record.

Answer: run

Teddy was interviewing her about Solando's disappearance and Chuck had left the table when she took his notebook and wrote in it.

Answer: They didn't - Cawley did

She was "found" while Teddy and Chuck were out in the storm.

Answer: There was a hole in her belly spilling out liquid

This symbolized the blood from Teddy - in reality Andrew Laeddis - shooting her.

Answer: He's gone

Although Teddy automatically fears he is dead, his body is nowhere to be seen. The thing Teddy mistakes for his body in the water is in fact just a long, sun-bleached rock.

Answer: A woman who was a doctor at the asylum

She tells him that the hospital staff have been drugging him through the food, coffee, and cigarettes he's been given.

Answer: Chuck

This discovery makes the journal entry from the beginning much more clear to the reader, since Sheehan was a part of the entire setup.

Answer: She was shot by Teddy after she drowned their kids

Dolores was a sufferer of insanity, but Teddy - Andrew - refused to heed the warnings doctors gave him about her. One day when he was gone, she drowned each of their three children in the lake. When Andrew discovered them dead, he killed his wife out of rage by shooting her in the stomach with his gun. Andrew created Rachel Solando, Teddy Daniels, and the fire in the apartment building to block from his mind that it was his fault his children and wife were dead.

Answer: No

Although he realizes, briefly, the truth of his actual identity, the final chapter of the book reveals a repeat of the story his mind has created and believed for two years, with the suggestion that since Cawley's mission to save him failed, Teddy will go into surgery for a transorbital lobotomy.
