Return of Tarzan Trivia Quiz

Answer: Paul d'Arnot

Tarzan saved d'Arnot's life in the first novel, and, in exchange, the Frenchman taught the ape man his language. So Tarzan could speak French before he could English!

Answer: He is her brother

Unlike her, though, he is evil! And he is plotting against her.

Answer: Alexis Paulvitch

"Kristoff Lambert" is a jokey respelling of the actor Christopher Lambert, who played Tarzan in "Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan." Obviously, "Robert E. Lee" was a confederate general, not a confederate of Rokoff.

Answer: He thinks Tarzan and Olga are having an affair

Rokoff sets up the meeting between Tarzan and Olga so that de Coude can catch them, but the pair are guilty of kissing.

Answer: as a special agent in Algeria for the ministry of war

Seems like a strange jump, eh, from jungle man to government agent? The novels are quite different from the "Me Tarzan" movies!

Answer: Hazel Strong

By sheer coincidence (a trademark of E.R. Burroughs), Hazel Strong just happens to be a friend of Jane Porter's. Tarzan's father is actually dead, and Tarzan never meets the star of "John Carter of Mars".

Answer: Busuli of the Waziri

Tarzan ends up becoming chief of the Waziri tribe, after he helped them defend themselves against a raid on their village.

Answer: The city of Opar

This novel is not the last time we will see Opar. It is a lost city, located deep in the jungle.

Answer: La

La is probably based on H. Rider Haggard's "She". She rules over this surviving remnant of the colonies of Atlantis.

Answer: they are cousins

Because Tarzan's parents disappeared into Africa and did not leave an heir behind in England, the title of Lord Greystoke passed to the nearest relative. When William Cecil Clayton's father died, the title fell to him. Tarzan discovered this at the end of the first book, but he decided to say nothing.

Answer: the Lady Alice

This was the boat on which Hazel Strong, Jane Porter, and her fiancé traveled. It ended up sinking.

Answer: M. Thuran

Rokoff as Thuran manages to ingratiate himself with Jane Porter's traveling party, much to their misfortune. This acquaintance basically ends up costing William Clayton his life.

Answer: By cowering before a lion

Tarzan saves them from the lion, of course. He speared the lion, but was not aware exactly who he was saving from its attack.

Answer: that Tarzan is the rightful Lord Greystoke

As mentioned after an earlier question, Tarzan learned this fact at the end of the first book but decided to remain silent, letting his cousin keep the title for Jane's sake. With William's deathbed revelation, Tarzan (John Clayton) can take the title and Jane's hand in marriage.

Answer: Professor Porter

Professor Porter, Jane's father, is an ordained minister who can officially perform marriages. This one is a double ceremony - Tarzan marries Jane, and Tennington marries Hazel.
