Can you guess what these literary works have in common?

“De Profundis” by Oscar Wilde
“Don Quijote de la Mancha” by Miguel de Cervantes
“The Travels of Marco Polo” by Rustichello da Pisa
“Conversations with Myself” by Nelson Mandela

Is the answer possibly prison? Or written while imprisoned?
Oscar Wilde spent time in prison due to his relationship with a certain young lord and wrote and the letter while inside.
“Conversations with Myself” was written while Nelson Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island.
“The travels of Marco Polo” was based on stories he told the author while in prison.
So far I know there is this link but for the life of me I cannot think of a link to Don Quixote unless he met Sancho Panza and Rocinante in the slammer lol…
Maybe I’m tilting at windmills…

Absolutely correct, whoeverit! :clap:

Some literary critics doubt “Don Quijote“ was really engendered in prison, but the prologue to the first part of the novel states that “it was begotten in a prison, where every discomfort has its place and every sad sound makes its home”. It probably refers to the year Cervantes spent in prison for tax-related offenses in Seville.

I don’t see any reason to disbelieve it. :slight_smile:

Is Dr.No one of them?

Not really, his hand is just metal, not sharp or pointy or cutting.
But the other two are correct.
I’ll add Freddy Krueger to the list.
Who else?

Wolverine had 3 Adamantium blades on each hand.
Catwoman had claws.
Lady Deathstrike had Adamanium claws
T X from Terminator 3

Nice list @whoeverit
Also Logan’s daughter (Wolverinette :joy:) had blades on each hand.
Anyone else?

I can only think of Candyman (hook for hand) and Ash Williams in Evil Dead (replaced his mutilated hand with a chainsaw).
If there’s no one else, we can consider this quiz answered and move on :slight_smile:

I forgot one.
Bender Bending Rodriguez can use his hands as a circular saw. :rofl::rofl:
