The banquet hall itself was temporary at this time, but was later built by the architect, Inigo Jones, who also staged The Masque of Blackness.

his journey. A major part in a hero's journey is their trip to the underworld, after the trip to the underworld the hero comes back stronger, better, and more mature; Westleys trip to the underworld is very traumatic because Westley actually dies.

“The Princess Bride” A Satirical Joy     This movie is the perfect melting pot of humor and action. A lot of movies fail to hit the balance between too much humor and too much action. The Princess Bride is an exclusion to this cinematic misfortune.
