4. Raskolnikov Crime and Punishment

The Chief , of course!

Tho it was IN EFFECT Nurse Ratched

1) Romeo & Juliet. Killed by Romeo.

2 points :applaud:

3. The Great Gatsby , killer I can't recall

2 pts :rollover:

correct, but because his name appears in the title I am going to give both points to the person who comes up with the murderer's name.

Thank you for your understanding :D

correct, and you're totally right. he was already "dead"

miserable sod

10. Is from Last of the Mohicans, I think? And he killed Daniel Day Lewis' brother. :cry2:

yes! the question is, what was that title character's name?

2. Of Mice And Men - Steinbeck. The killer was Lenny, poor sod...

12. Slaughterhouse-5 - Vonnegut. The victim is Billy Pilgrim... more than once.

13. The Cask Of Amontillado - Poe. The victim is Fortunato. "Yes... for the love of God." Brrr...

and 6 quick points for Mr. Oakland to take the lead!!

Damn, we read that in school!!! :banghead:

Would it be cheating if I watch the film later and give you the answer then? :unsure:

9 - Injun Joe is from Tom Sawyer / Huckleberry Finn thing... mmm... cant remember anything else though.

Yes, Injun Joe is the villian from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Still a point for his murderee.

It'd be worth it just to get some activity on the thread :cry2:

I'll have to read the book and come back to you... does that count as cheating?!

Be about a month :lol:

I think he does his murdering pretty early in the book, so maybe just a week :lol:

3. George Wilson killed Jay Gatsby in The great Gatsby. :)

Excellent idea for a quiz btw. :thumbsup:

Correct!!

the points are mine I believe. :) :) :)

HINTS:

6) Paul Owen got his with an axe. Or did he?

7) This one was is tricky. The murderers are the quiz's only non-human participants

9) heaven holds a place for those who pray

10) After his death, Chingachgook became the Last of the Mohicans

11) Surprised no guesses yet on this one, a character from a prolific and widely read English Author

14) No jury would convict Rainsford. His homicide was certainly a justifiable one.

Paul Owen is killed by Patrick Bateman in American Psycho

<_<

Ostensibly, yesssss

2 pts B)

Doesn't he also kill Colonel Munro?

In the film I believe he dies, but he doesn't in the book. Cora Munro dies though, by not by Magua's hand

It's been a long time, but didn't his son Uncas become The Last Of The Mohicans after Chingachcook died? :unsure:


Brilliant quiz by the way.

11) I would guess Agatha Christie from the clue (her name's not Dickensian enough) but no idea which book.

Uncas was supposed to be the last, but he was murdered.

I am giving you the point for coming up with his name.

correct author, now just need a victim's name and the name of the book B)

Victim: Roger Ackroyd
Book: The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd

(or did I just make it up?)

No, he was murdered by the doctor who narrates the book.

Oops what a giveaway. :ohdear:
