    The Princess Bride is an amazing movie that has many great characters. It is based off of a book that shares the same name. Although there were many main characters, I have chosen to write about the characteristics of the ones that remind me of people that I know. These characters names are Wesley, Vizzini, and Prince Humperdinck. All of these characters could be described as being overly confident, and fairly intelligent. Wesley was a very poor servant to a young woman named Buttercup, and

    What's the film’s message I thought the overall message that The Princess Bride portrayed was that true love always finds a way.I say this because know matter what obstacle occurred, Westly and Buttercup eventually found each other again.Some evidence that proves this is when Buttercup told the king that Westly would come for her.Another message that this movie portrayed was to never judge a book by its cover.This message is very implied because all the events that take place are very sporadic and

    Lord of The Rings instead of Harry Potter? Would they be attempting to learn Elvish instead of learning magic spells? In life, there are choices that have to be made. One or the other. The same applies to literature. For example, The Princess Bride, by S. Morgenstern. Readers of this novel may begin to ask themselves this very question. What if Westley did not reveal his identity to Buttercup when he fell down the ravine? How would this affect the remainder of the story? There are so many
