Glass (2019) Trivia Questions & Answers
- Who plays the role of Elijah Price, also known as Mr. Glass?
Correct Answer: Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson returns as Elijah Price, a mastermind with brittle bone disease who views himself as a comic book-style villain. His cunning intellect and deep belief in the existence of superhumans make him a compelling and dangerous figure in the trilogy.
- What is the name of the trilogy to which Glass belongs?
Correct Answer: The Eastrail 177 Trilogy
Named after the train crash orchestrated by Elijah in Unbreakable, the Eastrail 177 Trilogy includes Unbreakable, Split, and Glass. The series redefines superhero storytelling by rooting it in realism, trauma, and personal belief rather than flashy spectacle.
- Which character has multiple personalities in the film?
Correct Answer: Kevin Wendell Crumb
James McAvoy plays Kevin, a man with 24 distinct personalities, including the Beast. His portrayal is a masterclass in transformation, capturing the psychological and physical nuances of each identity within The Horde.
- What facility are the three main characters held in?
Correct Answer: Raven Hill Memorial Psychiatric Hospital
The hospital serves as the narrative’s pressure cooker, where Dr. Staple attempts to convince the trio that their abilities are delusions — and where Elijah secretly plans to expose the truth.
- What color is thematically associated with Mr. Glass?
Correct Answer: Purple
Purple symbolizes Elijah’s brilliance, nobility, and enigmatic nature. Shyamalan’s deliberate use of color visually reinforces character identities throughout the trilogy.
- What is the superhero identity of David Dunn?
Correct Answer: The Overseer
David Dunn, portrayed by Bruce Willis, is The Overseer — a quiet, powerful man who senses people’s sins through touch and uses his strength to stop criminals. His raincoat and subdued presence contrast sharply with comic book flamboyance.
- Who is the psychiatrist assigned to study the three men?
Correct Answer: Dr. Ellie Staple
Sarah Paulson plays Dr. Staple, whose apparent concern for the trio masks her true allegiance to a covert organization that silences superhumans to preserve societal “balance.”
- How does Elijah Price orchestrate the climax of the film?
Correct Answer: By secretly recording the events and uploading them
Despite his physical limitations, Elijah outsmarts everyone. He captures footage of Kevin’s transformation and David’s strength, sending it to the outside world — finally proving the existence of superhumans.
- What is the purpose of the secret organization revealed at the end?
Correct Answer: To suppress the existence of superhumans
This hidden group eliminates extraordinary individuals to prevent widespread knowledge and potential chaos. Their influence is vast and their methods ruthless, adding a conspiratorial edge to the film’s climax.
- What is a central theme of Glass?
Correct Answer: Belief in one’s true identity and potential
The trilogy, and especially Glass, centers on self-perception and belief. Whether it’s Elijah’s vision of a world with heroes and villains, David’s quiet strength, or Kevin’s fractured identity, the story challenges what it means to be extraordinary — and whether society allows such truth to surface.
