In the book The Princess Bride, the author satirizes fairytales and the characters through their appearance and actions. In the novel, the author portrays his characters as unfitting to the story. Goldman presents the story as a fairytale but it is the very opposite, as he constantly

There are many characters in the book Princess Bride by S. Morgenstern. Some which are evil, some which are brave, but the real hero in the story is Westley.

In this book a girl named Buttercup loves a boy named Westley, but her father tells her Westley has died so, Buttercup then has to marry Prince Humperdinck.

For this project I drew a farm scene with a big heart with quotes from the book. The farm scene is very stereotypical and this is how I imagine the farm looking. It has a horse just like Buttercup does. Also there is Westley in the background because he is not only one of the main characters but on the farm is where the star-crossed lovers fell for each other. The heart in the center represents how strong their love is for each other. The fact that the heart is in the center represents how the whole
