Inigo Montoya

“Send our best soldier, and see to it that he is put to his death by my death machine.” “Yes sir”. Buttercup was speechless. Her first love was presumed dead, is actually alive, and now being put to a death machine. However, Westley was not alone. Inigo Montoya, an average grown man with long black hair and a beard, had joined Westley on a mission to find the killer of his father,

Each of these characters in this story contributes to present the story on a grand scale. Westley, Inigo, Fezzik, and Vizzini all have posed powers that normal humans would not exhibit. As a result the story revolves around these characters making it a compelling story to view. This story creates a classic fairy tale theme based on the battle between

out by hearing that the ship he was on was captured by the Dread Pirate Robinson who takes no prisoners. Another similarity is that The Man in Black battles both The Spaniard and the giant. As in the Book and the movie he fights the Spaniard (Inigo Montoya) and the Giant (Fezzik) in the same way. One more similarity is that he outsmarts the Sicilian (Vizzini). Just like the book the movie has the man in Black outsmarting Vizzini by putting the poison in both cups. There are many more similarities

One example of this takes place as he is being ordered to fight the person who took down Inigo. He is ordered by his boss, Vizzini, to attack him “his way” which is to, “ Pick up one of those rocks, get behind a boulder, in a few minutes the man in black will come running around the bend, the minute his head is in view, hit it with a rock.”

Buttercup later meets with a criminal philosopher by the name Vizzini who is willing to do anything to acquire a bag of gold. There is Fezzik, who is gentle giant, Inigo, who thirst for revenge and is a Spaniard and lastly Count Rugen who is evil mastermind behind all plans they make. Westley then foils all of their plans to have the princess, and he is the only one true love for her yet a great friend to a very

Inigo first experiences anticipation as a child watching his uncle threaten to kill himself in order to convince his father to make various swords. His Uncle Yeste with the knife poised before his chest cries out in pain while the knife is still distant exclaiming when confronted on the issue “I’m anticipating, don’t bother me, let me die unpestered” (124). Later in the story ten-year-old Inigo feels honor bound to avenge his father’s murderer. Inigo spends ten years training

reflection of the weilder’s passions. One of the most predominant magic weapons in The Princess Bride is Inigo’s sword; the sword of Inigo Montoya is one that was forged by his father for a six-fingered man--it was that until the six-fingered man slew Inigo’s father that Inigo took the sword upon himself, learning its ways, while also representing the loss of his father. When Inigo finally challenges the murderer of his father he becomes mortally wounded, and as Inigo’s state falters his sword grants him

good life even if at times it was hard. Another lesson that we can learn from The Princess Bride is we sacrifice for those things we believe in. Inigo Montoya for example sacrificed years of his life to study swordplay because he believed he would one day find the man who killed his father. Although his sacrifice turned out positively the story of Inigo reminds that if we want something, we must constantly sacrifice for the things we want no matter how frivolous it may seem. I also took away the

An image of a magical and mythical world come to mind with a happy ending when fairy tales are mentioned; yet, William Goldman’s The Princess Bride proves fairy tales can also be thrill-packed with adventure and suspense. William Goldman’s book The Princess Bride is a book that takes place in the mythical country of Florin located between Sweden and Germany where the scenery is beautifully filled with vegetation and occupies Buttercup, a milkmaid, and Westley, a Farm Boy. The Princess Bride is filled

someone beats you at a game, it doesn’t mean that you’re going to beat them at a different game, instead they could beat you in any game and you wouldn’t stand a chance. Just like when Westley beat Vizzini- intelligence -, Fezzik- strength -, and Inigo- fencing - at what they did best, so very easily, did that seem fair, no it wasn’t, it was cruel. “… but Hiram, my editor, felt that made me just as unfair as Morgenstern here. If you're going to abridge a book in the author's own words, you can't
