The Prisoner of Zenda Chapter 2

A. Answer these questions.

8.      Why do you think Fritz says that it is not a good time for Rassendyll to visit Strelsau?

As there will be problems with someone who looks so much like the King.

9.      How does the King react to Fritz's suggestion, and what does that tell you about the King?

The King seems surprised by the suggestion (He says, “What?”) and asks Sapt what he thinks. Perhaps it means that the King is not very wise, or that he depends too much on other people for advice.

10.  Why don't Fritz and Sapt eat very much? What advice do they give the King? Does he listen to them?

They don’t want to overeat because they have to get up early the next day. They advise the King not to eat too much. He doesn’t listen to them.

Johann’s mother (who is a servant to the Duke) overhears the plan. They tie her up and lock her in the cellar with the King. Josef will let her out later.

16.  Why do they go to the station early instead of waiting for Duke Michael's guards?

The Duke’s guards have probably been told to kidnap or kill the King. They want to get out of the lodge and be on their way to the capital before the Duke’s men come.

17.  What is the first thing they do when they reach the capital? Why aren't the people from the palace at the station in Strelsau to meet them?

The first thing they do is eat breakfast at the train station. The palace people aren’t there yet because the King (Rassendyll) arrived earlier than planned.

18.  Why is Rassendyll afraid when he sees Antoinette de Mauban?

Her expression changes, so he thinks she recognises that he is not the real King. He is afraid that she will shout out and tell others

He knows that the people in the old town support the Duke and he is afraid that Rassendyll will be hurt or attacked there.

21.  Why does Duke Michael's face turn white when he sees "the King" (Rassendyll)?

Duke Michael and his servant Max Holt are riding to Zenda. They decide to go to the castle. Sapt and Rassendyll go to the hunting lodge.

29.  What do you think the message "all is well" means?

Johann’s mother and the King are gone. Josef is killed.

He plans that Rassendyllwill remain as King.

33.  Why do Michael's men have spades? What does it mean that they were going to "hide their evil work"?

36.  Why does Rassendyll use a new servant who has never met the real King? Who is the servant replacing?

The new servant would be less likely to realise that Rassendyll is not the real King. The servant is replacing Josef, who was killed by Michael’s men.

37.  Who are the Six Men? Where are they from? Why are only three in Strelsau?

They are six special soldiers that Duke Michael keeps in his house all the time. Three are from Ruritania, one is French, one is Belgian, one is English. Sapt and Fritz assume that if only three are in Strelsau, the other three must be guarding the King.

38.  Rassendyll decides to keep some of his plans secret from Sapt and Fritz. What are those plans?

He plans to make himself as popular as he can, and to not say anything bad about Michael. This way, if there were a fight, some of the people would support him (the King) and not Michael. Michael would not become stronger this way.

39.  Why does he visit the Princess? What does he do on the way? How do these things make him more popular?.

40.  Why can't Michael come into the room when the King is there? What mistake does Rassendyll make? How does he cover up his mistake?

because the King is royal and higher than Michael. Rassendyll does not know this rule, and he makes the mistake of asking why Michael will be angry (that he isn’t asked to enter the room). He covers his mistake by saying that he keeps forgetting all the rules.

41.  Rassendyll says that his hand was hurt from an animal bite and that he's waiting to see if the bite is poisonous. He also says that he is sure the animal will try to bite again. Who is he really talking about, and who understands this?

He is really talking about Michael (his poisoning and kidnapping of the King, and his men’s shooting at Rassendyll), and Michael understands this.

42.  How does Rassendyll know that the Six Men also know his secret?

He knows because of the way Detchard (the Englishman) smiles at him when he is presented to him. Rassendyll knows that if one of the Six Men knows, they will all know.

The Prisoner of Zenda Chapter 5

43.  Rassendyll has never liked responsibilities. Now he has many. What responsibilities does he have?

He has to act like the King. He has to run the country. He has to try to rescue the real King from Michael.

44.   Why does Rassendyll become good at pretending he has forgotten rules or people he has met? How does that prevent people from noticing that he is not the real King? What else do you think helps him not to be discovered?

When he makes a mistake in pretending to be the King he has to cover it up by pretending that he has forgotten something or someone. In this way, people don’t notice that he’s not the real King. Other things that might help him are these: people don’t expect that there is a pretend King, so they don’t look for one; they see what they expect to see. He looks nearly identical to the King, so this helps. Also Sapt stays close to him to tell him what to say or do

45.   Sapt brings news of the real King. What is it?

The King is at the Castle of Zenda.

46.  Why does Rassendyll want to go to Zenda? What does Sapt mean when he says “You’ll probably stay there forever if you do”?

He wants to go to rescue the real King. Sapt means that Rassendyll will either be imprisoned in Zenda or killed there if he goes.

47.   Why does Sapt have Rassendyll followed everywhere? What does he mean by “If you disappear, the game’s over”?

He has him followed to protect him from Michael’s men. If they can kill or kidnap Rassendyll, they will kill the real King and make Michael the King. Rassendyll’s game of pretending to be King would be over.

48.   Who writes a letter to Rassendyll and what does it say? Who does he suspect really wrote it?

Antoinette de Mauban writes a letter. It tells him to come to a certain place in a summer house in a garden late at night. He suspects that Michael wrote the letter (or at least dictated it to her).

49.   When Rassendyll talks to Detchard at the summer house, what does Detchard offer him? Why doesn’t Rassendyll accept it?

Detchard offers to give Rassendyll 50,000 English pounds and a safe journey to the border. Rassendyll doesn’t accept this because he knows that they will kill the real King, and he doesn’t trust them. They will promise him one thing but kill him instead.

50.   How does Rassendyll come out of the summer house alive?

He holds the iron table in front of him to protect him (like a shield) and he rushes out of the door and knocks the three men down. He runs quickly away.

1.       Why have they prepared a ball for the Princess?

They want to make the people happy and make them think that the King wants to marry the Princess. They want Rassendyll to ask the Princess to marry him. Some people think that if the King doesn’t marry her soon, she should marry Duke Michael.

51.   Rassendyll tells the Princess that when he was younger, he thought he didn’t need to worry about society. Why does he say this? How does the Princess react? Why is it a mistake for him to say this?

He says it because he is forgetting to act like the King. He is thinking that he is himself, Rassendyll. The Princess is surprised because the King must have always known that he was going to become the King one day. This is a mistake by Rassendyll because he almost uncovers the truth about who he is.

52.   The day after the ball, the Princess receives two letters. What are they and who are they from?

One is an invitation from Michael for her to visit him in Zenda. The other is a warning not to accept any invitations from Michael and not to go anywhere without many guards. It is from Antoinette de Mauban (although the Princess doesn’t know this).

53.   What does Rassendyll do when he hears of these letters? Who does he go to?

He orders a guard for the Princess. He goes to Marshal Strakencz and gives him some orders.

54.  . What does Rassendyll tell Marshal Strakencz to do?

He tells him to guard the Princess and not allow Michael or his men hear her. He also tells the Marshal that he is leaving Strelsau for a few days and he will send a message to him every evening. If he doesn’t get a message for three days, he has the authority to say that he is now the head of Strelsau.

1. Who says this to whom?. “King” Rassendyll says this to Marshal Strakencz.

2. When is this said?. This is said the day after the ball, before Rassendyll goes to Zenda. / After the Duke invites the Princess to Zenda and Antoinette warns her to stay away.

3. What other orders does the speaker give?

If he doesn’t see the King in twenty-four hours, he must tell the people that the King is dead and make Princess Flavia the new ruler of Ruritania.

The Prisoner of Zenda Chapter 6

A. Answer these questions.

55.   Rassendyll’s writing is different from the King’s. What reason does Rassendyll give? Why might this difference be a problem for Marshal Strakencz?

Rassendyll says it is because of his injured finger. It might be a problem for Strakencz

because people might think the order from the King is not a real one.

82.   Why doesn’t the King fight Detchard directly? How does he help Rassendyll?

The King is weak from illness and in chains. He can’t move much because of the chains. He helps Rassendyll by pushing a chair into Detchard as he is fighting. (This makes him lose his balance and fall over the doctor’s body. Then it is easy for Rassendyll to kill him.)

83.  Who kills the Duke?. Rupert Hentzau.

84.  Why does Rupert ride away instead of fighting Rassendyll?

86.  Why does Sapt have the real King taken from his prison with his face covered? What do Sapt’s men and the servants think happened to the King and to the prisoner? Why does Rassendyll wait in the forest until dark to go to the castle?

Rassendyll waits until he can go into the castle under the cover of dark. He doesn’t want anyone to see him.

87.   How does Rassendyll teach the King how to be a real king?

He takes his responsibilities as King seriously and tries to run the country well. He risks his own life to rescue the King, could have remained King.

88.   What does Rassendyll mean when he writes “Nobody knew where Rupert had disappeared to, and the thought of the man who had almost beaten me still makes my heart beat louder in my chest”?

It means when he thinks of Rupert he gets excited or angry. He wishes he could find him and fight him.

89.  . Do you think Rassendyll was right to pretend to be the King for the coronation? Was he right to continue to pretend to be the King for so long?

90.  . Why doesn’t Rassendyll remain the King? If he was a wiser and better ruler than the real King, would it be wrong for him to remain King?
