Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who is the narrative character in the novel?

Answer: Catherine Morland

Catherine lives in a family of ten, along with her mother, father and many sisters and brothers.
2. What does Sally Morland change her name to?

Answer: Sarah

Like many young girls, Sally deems it part of 'growing up' to attempt to change her name as an 'improvement' from that which her parents gave her.
3. Why does Catherine accompany the Allens to Bath?

Answer: Her mother wanted her to 'seek adventure'

Mr Allen 'was ordered to Bath for the benefit of a gouty constitution', and the Allens being close friends of the Morlands, Catherine's 'uninteresting' life was to be improved.
4. How many children do the Allens have?

Answer: 0

The Allens possess great wealth, but no children to pass it to, perhaps another reason for the Morlands' close connections with them...
5. Why were Catherine and Mrs Allen at first uncomfortable in Bath?

Answer: They had no acquaintances

At this point in the novel, Mr Allen was seemingly not with his wife and their young acquaintance, and so the two women were fearful of being seen as 'unsociable nobodys.'
6. Whose hand did Catherine refuse in marriage?

Answer: John Thorpe

Catherine had two opportunities of being a sister to Isabella Thorpe -if Catherine herself had married John, or if Isabella had married Catherine's brother James. Neither marriage took place, and at the end of the novel, the once close acquaintances are not on good terms (Catherine and Isabella.)
7. In which place did Catherine NOT stay?

Answer: Greenwich

Catherine lives at Fullerton with her parents and siblings; Northanger is the dwelling of the Tilney family where she stays for several weeks; and of course Bath is where Catherine formed many new acquaintances and met her future husband.
8. Whom does Catherine NOT live with for a period of time?

Answer: The Thorpes

Catherine has acquaintances with The Thorpes, but did not actually dwell with them. She was at home at the beginning and end of the novel, resided with The Tilneys at both Bath and Northanger, and, of course, rested with The Allens for the majority of her stay at Bath.
9. Whom does Catherine not dislike at some point in the novel?

Answer: Her father

Catherine's father suprisingly is not mentioned much in the novel; she dislikes the General due to his acquittal of her due to her small wealth; and dislikes Mr Thorpe's superior air and contradictory speech. Captain Tilney was the cause of a marriage not taking place between Isabella and Catherine's brother James.
10. With whom does Catherine return to Fullerton?

Answer: No-one, she comes alone

Catherine is rejected from the Tilney household with not even a servant to accompany her part of the way home; due to the General discovering her lack of wealth after conversing with the persuasive John Thorpe.
11. Why did the General throw Catherine out of his house?

Answer: He found out she was not as wealthy as he had previously thought

John Thorpe having rather profound affections for Catherine spoke with the General at the theatre, and believing he would marry her; emphasised her wealth ten-fold. Hence the General, led by monetary-based intentions, aimed to have the 'wealthy' Catherine marry his son Henry.
12. Why does Catherine dislike Captain Tilney?

Answer: He paid attentions to an engaged woman

Captain Tilney paid increasing attentions to Isabella Thorpe whilst she was engaged to James Morland. Undeniably, we are led to believe that Isabella returned these sentiments; thus putting an end to hers and James' engagement. This accomplished; Captain Tilney quitted Bath and left Isabella.
13. Which pair DO marry?

Answer: Catherine and Henry

Catherine refused John; Isabella was led on by Captain Tilney (who never intended to marry her); thus losing her fiancé James.
14. Isabella Thorpe marries Catherine's brother James.

Answer: False

Isabella was ENGAGED to James Morland (Catherine's brother), but the engagement is called off and they do not actually marry.
15. Which male DOES marry in the novel?

Answer: Henry Tilney

After a life-time (or so it seems) for the reader, Henry eventually admits an attachment to Catherine and confesses his wishes to make her his wife; near the end of the novel.
