Pride and Prejudice Quiz

March 14, 2026

If you consider yourself an authority on Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, this challenge is for you.

Few novels are as beloved — or as endlessly quotable — as Austen’s story of Elizabeth Bennet, Mr. Darcy, and the intricate society of Hertfordshire and beyond.

In this 15-question Pride and Prejudice quiz, we test how closely you remember the people, places, and memorable moments from the novel.

Some questions will feel immediately familiar to devoted Janeites. Others may require a sharper literary memory — the sort acquired only by careful reading.

⭐ Most readers score between 8 and 12 out of 15. Can you do better?
