I always thought the Kraken originated in Greek mythology. Probably due to the original Clash of the Titans film

Apparently it's Katharina or Kate in the play , so the former should be the answer listed, though other versions could be accepted as well: http://shakespeare.mit.edu/taming_shrew/full.html

Changed the answer to Katherina based on the Wikipedia article, and Kate will work now as well.

I apparently don't know how to spell Kesey. Still did OK.

Thank you. Enjoyed this. A bit of a challenge and makes you think. Glad, as always, that the ones I didn't know had the smallest percentages on the results.

I am stunned that A) I failed to see the Heart of Darkness question, and B) that it's the least-guessed answer! What's with people?

People who have watched Apocalypse Now should also know the answer to that one.

Interesting, because "Kinta" (my misspelling) does work.

Good catch. Please accept Kinte as it is the last name of the character.

Kafka was born and lived in Prague, but it isn't very correct to call him Czech. Actually for most of his life he had been Jewish, German speaking subject of Habsburg monarchy, the identity that doesn't exist any more
