The Princess Bride	comment	A 1973 book by William Goldman, The Princess Bride is about the trials of true love in the Renaissance European nation of Florin. The story stars Buttercup, a simple yet incredibly beautiful farmgirl, and Westley, the farmhand she enjoys ordering around. Although they realize that they share the incredibly rare thing called "true love," fate conspires to keep them apart, as Westley is lost at sea.Five years later, Prince Humperdinck, who rules Florin in place of his elderly and doddering father, decides to celebrate the kingdom's 500th anniversary by marrying Buttercup, who is now the most beautiful woman in the world. Buttercup, knowing that the Prince is well within his rights and believing she can never love again anyway, reluctantly agrees.In a plot against the throne, Buttercup is kidnapped by the criminal trio The Sicilian Crowd (so-called because two's company and three's a crowd), consisting of Vizzini (the mastermind), Fezzik (the dumb muscle), and Inigo Montoya (the world's greatest fencer, traveling to avenge his father) — but their steps are hampered by a mysterious man in black who seems determined to stop them at all costs. The subsequent adventures are madcap, iconic, and brilliant.The book uses a Framing Device with the author "abridging" an older story to turn a very satirical (and rather cynical) adult novel by the Florinese author S. Morgenstern into the adventure tale for children that he remembers his father reading to him as a kid.It was later adapted by the author into a well-known film of the same name.The new edition published for the book's 25th anniversary included additional commentary (including some remarks on the film), and a rather confusing preview chapter from a projected sequel, Buttercup's Baby, which implicitly references Goldman's unrelated novel Control.The even newer edition for the 30th anniversary contains additional commentary about the film, as well as everything contained in the 25th-anniversary edition, resulting in three forewords. One more foreword and the 'Good Parts' version will be thicker than Morgenstern's supposed original!

The Princess Bride / int_17a606bd	comment	When Count Rugen went to Inigo's father for a special sword, he claimed to be a Master Swordsman, and that's part of the reason why Inigo was so obsessed with becoming a greater master. However, even if Rugen wasn't simply flattering himself, by the time Inigo catches up with Rugen it's somewhere along the lines of 20 years later and Rugen has been paying more attention to forming plots with Prince Humperdink and perfecting his torture machines than honing his skills as a swordsman. Age and lack of practice mean that Rugen is completely out of his league against Inigo, and the duel between the two is rather anti-climactic, as even a badly wounded Inigo only needs to clash swords with Rugen a few times before casually overpowering Rugen.

The Princess Bride / int_1869b4b1	type	Unreliable Narrator
The Princess Bride / int_1869b4b1	comment	Unreliable Narrator: Goldman portrays himself as one in the book's foreword. He then sets out to prove it, quite successfully. He also portrays Morgenstern as an unreliable narrator. And his father (who read him the book as a child). To wit: Narrator Goldman talks about a wife and kid he doesn't have in real life (not to mention saying the story is actually satirical non-fiction). Narrator Morgenstern says that the story happened before Europe but after America. Narrator Father never informed his son that the story came from a historical text and he skipped over all the (lengthy) boring parts. In later anniversary editions, Goldman talks about the scenes of what was supposed to be a fictional parody actually having happened in the past in later additions, with kids visiting locales such as the Cliffs of Insanity and the place where Inigo killed Rugen, and so forth, as tourist traps supposed by the fictional but still somehow existing countries of Guilder and Florin.

In the movie, finally achieving his lifelong goal does leave Inigo wondering what to do now, but Westley solves that problem by suggesting Inigo could fill the recently vacated role of Dread Pirate Roberts.

The Princess Bride / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
The Princess Bride / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: When Count Rugen went to Inigo's father for a special sword, he claimed to be a Master Swordsman, and that's part of the reason why Inigo was so obsessed with becoming a greater master. However, even if Rugen wasn't simply flattering himself, by the time Inigo catches up with Rugen it's somewhere along the lines of 20 years later and Rugen has been paying more attention to forming plots with Prince Humperdink and perfecting his torture machines than honing his skills as a swordsman. Age and lack of practice mean that Rugen is completely out of his league against Inigo, and the duel between the two is rather anti-climactic, as even a badly wounded Inigo only needs to clash swords with Rugen a few times before casually overpowering Rugen. After his obsessional lifelong quest for revenge is finally finished, Inigo admits that he now doesn't know what to do with the rest of his life. The heroes defeat the Big Bad, decide he's Not Worth Killing, and, their goals accomplished, tie him up and ride off into the sunset. Time for a happy ending, right? Well... the trouble is that this time the Big Bad is a prince who will soon be king, and the heroes left him tied up in the middle of his own castle, so it won't take him very long to get free and be a major threat to them. In the book, Humperdink doesn't take his humiliation and defeat well, and promptly ordered his men to pursue Westley, Inigo, Fezzik, and Buttercup. The book ends on a Sequel Hook with Humperdink's men hot on the trail of the heroes, and both circumstances and their various problems and weaknesses (Inigo's wound reopens and becomes worse, the somewhat dim Fezzik takes a wrong turn, etc) leave their ability to get away in serious doubt.

The Princess Bride / int_4160410d	comment	Damsel in Distress: With two exceptions — jumping off the boat and pushing the Dread Pirate Roberts down a hill — Buttercup takes no assertive action in her own defense. This is particularly evident in the Fire Swamp where she fails to assist Westley in any way. The trope is averted in the final pages, though, when Buttercup uses sheer force of personality (and her "queen training") to cow the guards that try to stop the heroes' escape.

In the end, despite the beauticians working on her while she's Humperdinck's fiancÃ©e, it's her maturity and sadness that puts her over the top.

The Princess Bride / int_52488c54	comment	Inigo has been driven into becoming an alcoholic by his life in general and his inability to find Count Rugen in particular. Twenty years of first training for revenge but then being unable to find his target and all the doubts and insecurities that come with it led to Inigo dealing with his psychological stressors by drinking them away. Before Vizzini found him, Inigo was a drunken wreck, and after losing his duel with Westley, he has an epic relapse, since the loss reawakens his fears that his skills may be inadequate. Speaking of his loss in the duel with Westley, when Inigo fought Westley, Inigo was fighting purely for the money and because Vizzini told him to do it. He hadn't fought anyone who could match him (even when fighting left-handed), in a long time and has been coasting on the strength of his past training. Also, he's battling his alcoholism and, odds, are, regularly drinking when not on the job. Westley, on the other hand, is fighting to save the life of his true love, his swordsmanship is as sharp and polished as it's ever going to be, he's younger, and he's not wrestling with any addictions that have side effects like dulling his reflexes and response time. All of this results in Westley being just a little bit better, enough to make the difference in the fight.

Audiences got bored of the curb-stomp battles so Fezzik started taking on more and more people; and found that if he changed his strategy a little bit, it wasn't much harder than fighting single people. During his fight with the Man in Black, Fezzik realizes that his years of fighting groups have left him confused as to how to fight one person. He adjusts his strategy, but by that point, it's too late.

Well... the trouble is that this time the Big Bad is a prince who will soon be king, and the heroes left him tied up in the middle of his own castle, so it won't take him very long to get free and be a major threat to them. In the book, Humperdink doesn't take his humiliation and defeat well, and promptly ordered his men to pursue Westley, Inigo, Fezzik, and Buttercup. The book ends on a Sequel Hook with Humperdink's men hot on the trail of the heroes, and both circumstances and their various problems and weaknesses (Inigo's wound reopens and becomes worse, the somewhat dim Fezzik takes a wrong turn, etc) leave their ability to get away in serious doubt.

Furthermore, Inigo's father might have been the Ultimate Blacksmith but was also a half-mad recluse before being killed. The result is that Inigo is uniquely unworldly and ignorant of a lot of life skills like basic arithmetic. He is basically at a loss for how to function in society without someone like Vizzini to think for him.

The Princess Bride / int_b0855ef3	type	No Historical Figures Were Harmed
The Princess Bride / int_b0855ef3	comment	No Historical Figures Were Harmed: The fictional author Morgenstern has more than a passing resemblance to Victor Hugo, acclaimed French Novelist known for writing door stopper novels with long tangents about French history and architecture. Made more explicit in the â€œButtercupâ€™s Babyâ€� sequence; Goldman says that Morgenstern became obsessed with Florinese foliage, writing about them extensively in his novels in an attempt to convince the country of Florin to stop cutting down trees. Replace "foliage" with "architecture," and you have the Real Life motivation for the writing of The Hunch Back Of Notre Dame, which had been left in a state of disrepair by the French when Hugo wrote his novel.

After a huge buildup to a fight, the conclusion is a perfunctory few sentences mixed in with several pages about the positive qualities of a certain type of tree. Goldman explains that Morgenstern had a large monetary stake involving these trees, and used the book as an opportunity to make them more popular. It's also played with, in that Goldman's removal of these in The Princess Bride is said to be a point of contention with Morgenstern's estate about letting him 'abridge' Buttercup's Baby; apparently, the estate considers these the most important parts of the book.

Inigo finds the apparent lack of beasts and traps even more worrisome than the previous two levels, and Fezzik is so terrified of what's going on that he bursts through the door at the end — without touching the handle. Inigo notices the bewildered spider crawling around on the door as he follows Fezzik through the now doorless doorway and steps on it without realizing it was deadly.

In the book, Goldman claims he first encountered the original novel (which doesn't exist) when his father read it to him as a kid. He found it terribly boring, and after reading it himself as an adult... he still found it terribly boring but with plenty of good bits so he decided to make an abridged version where he left out all the boring bits. Narrator-Goldman repeatedly interjects during the book, briefly describing what happened during the boring parts he left out. At the end of the book it suddenly stops just before the final resolution, where Goldman says he's not sure what happened next, but he says he thinks there was a happy ending.

Then he reveals that he was behind Buttercup's abduction all along, and was trying to frame Guilder for it, and will instead murder her on the wedding night and frame Guilder for that instead.

The Princess Bride / int_ebb900a7	comment	Resignations Not Accepted: When Yellin tries to resign because he can't find the rumored saboteurs from Guilder, Humperdinck (who needs a regent in Guilder after the war, only trusts Yellin and Rugen, and knows Rugen is too busy with "his stupid Pain Primer") promptly tells him what's really going on and what planted evidence he should find later.

The Princess Bride / int_ec9a5f50	type	Deconstructed Character Archetype
The Princess Bride / int_ec9a5f50	comment	Deconstructed Character Archetype: It's possible that the revenge plot character, especially the type who completely dedicates his life to getting revenge, has never been deconstructed as thoroughly as the book deconstructs Inigo Montoya. Inigo didn't know the name of the six-fingered man and was a child when the six-fingered man (aka Count Rugen) killed his father, so he doesn't remember much about Rugen aside from the six fingers thing. Saying that someone has six fingers on their right hand isn't a great description to use when trying to find someone, so as a result, Inigo has been unable to track Rugen down for years. Hell, Inigo's boss Vizzini was hired by Prince Humperdink, and Count Rugen is Humperdink's right-hand man and co-conspirator, and yet Inigo didn't have a clue that he was so close to the target of his vengeance and likely would have Missed Him by That Much had he, Vizzini, and Fezzik completed the job as expected. (Taking this a level even further, Inigo was apparently living in Florin, the fictional country where Rugen was a nobleman and probably a major figure at court, and yet he couldn't find Rugen with just the description of "the six-fingered man.") The book notes that Inigo suffers from a case of Crippling Overspecialization; he was so focused on revenge that he threw himself into becoming a Master Swordsman and barely paid any attention to learning anything else. Furthermore, Inigo's father might have been the Ultimate Blacksmith but was also a half-mad recluse before being killed. The result is that Inigo is uniquely unworldly and ignorant of a lot of life skills like basic arithmetic. He is basically at a loss for how to function in society without someone like Vizzini to think for him. Inigo has been driven into becoming an alcoholic by his life in general and his inability to find Count Rugen in particular. Twenty years of first training for revenge but then being unable to find his target and all the doubts and insecurities that come with it led to Inigo dealing with his psychological stressors by drinking them away. Before Vizzini found him, Inigo was a drunken wreck, and after losing his duel with Westley, he has an epic relapse, since the loss reawakens his fears that his skills may be inadequate. Speaking of his loss in the duel with Westley, when Inigo fought Westley, Inigo was fighting purely for the money and because Vizzini told him to do it. He hadn't fought anyone who could match him (even when fighting left-handed), in a long time and has been coasting on the strength of his past training. Also, he's battling his alcoholism and, odds, are, regularly drinking when not on the job. Westley, on the other hand, is fighting to save the life of his true love, his swordsmanship is as sharp and polished as it's ever going to be, he's younger, and he's not wrestling with any addictions that have side effects like dulling his reflexes and response time. All of this results in Westley being just a little bit better, enough to make the difference in the fight. As he himself points out, there's no money to be made by going on an epic quest for revenge, so he has to work as a mercenary for Vizzini to survive.
