Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When awaiting for the concert to begin, the Marquise de Merteuil says to Valmont, "One does not applaud the tenor for ________." Complete the quote.

Answer: clearing his throat

The original challenge that the Marquise had given Valmont, to win the heart of Cecile, was far too easy and she realizes it. This line evokes a snicker... even from Valmont!

2. What phrase does the Marquise de Merteuil use to sum up her character when she tells Valmont, "I distilled everything into one wonderfully simple principle: ________."?

Answer: win or die

The Marquise says this to Valmont in one of the best dialog scenes of the film. She was a vengeful and very self-centered woman.

3. How does Valmont complete this statement to Madame de Tourvel? "And it's not that I want to have you. All I want ________."

Answer: is to deserve you

In this scene, Valmont is trying to seduce Madame de Tourvel. He didn't know it, but he actually meant these words when he said them.

4. Complete this statement made by Marquise de Merteuil to Valmont. "I became of virtuoso of ________."

Answer: deceit

Another great line from Marquise de Merteuil, showing her evil side. She is explaining to Valmont why she is the way she is; how she thinks.

Answer: a mother

Here, the Marquis de Merteuil is speaking to the young and vulnerable Cecile. Poor Cecile. She idolizes the Marquise and believes everything she tells her, thinking the she has her interests at heart when it came to her love for Le Chevalier Danceny. And "the mother" that the Marquise is speaking of was her "friend", Madame du Volanges!

6. Complete this statement, made to Cecile from the Marquise about "deceit and love". "You find the pain is like the shame; ________."

Answer: you only feel it once

More of the Marquise "counseling" Cecile. Although this answer to Cecile speaks of physical pain, it is more true especially in the case of the Marquise that it speaks of emotional pain, and her lack of integrity.

7. How does the Marquise de Merteuil describe Danceny to Valmont? "Like most intellectuals, ________."

Answer: he's intensely stupid

The Marquise de Merteuil's ex-lover, Bastide, had left her, and was to marry Cecile. So, the Marquise is trying to get Danceny and Cecile together, to take revenge on Bastide. Danceny, portrayed by Keanu Reeves, was young, naive, and in love with Cecile, so he was taking his time. The Marquise loses her patience with him. Valmont steps in and agrees to see Cecile, but his motive is to invoke a revenge on Madame du Volanges, Cecile's mother!

A lot of vengeance taken out in this film!

8. Valmont's Aunt, Madame de Rosemonde says this to Madame de Tourvel: "Men enjoy the happiness they feel. We can only enjoy ________." What phrase completes the quote?

Answer: the happiness we give

Madame de Rosemonde is a lovely lady who basically sees only the good in those she cared about. She loves Madame de Tourvel and is trying to comfort her.

This role of Madame de Rosemonde was portrayed by beautifully by Mildred Natwick, a veteran of many films and television, whose career in acting started in 1940. This was her last role before her death.

9. The Marquise de Merteuil makes this bold statement to Valmont: "I've always known I was meant to dominate your sex and ________." Complete the quote.

Answer: avenge my own

This is part of the long, memorable "speech" by Marquise de Merteuil at the beginning of the film. She is explaining her actions to Valmont. The more she does so, the more he finds himself being drawn to her!

10. Complete this statement made to Valmont by the Marquise about herself and Madame de Tourvel: "When one woman strikes at the heart of another, she seldom misses, and the wound is invariable ________."

Answer: fatal

Marquise de Merteuil was actually jealous of Madame de Tourvel, even though she doesn't know her. What begins as a challenge to Valmont, which is also a game to the Marquise, turns into revenge against Madame de Tourvel because unexpectedly, Valmont falls in love with her. The Marquise wants revenge on both of them.
