    Upon first glance the princess bride may seem like just another “hero-saves-the-girl-and-helps-all-his-friends-achieve-their-goals” type of story, which it is.

Then, he uses metafiction to contrast the parallel stories between Westley and Buttercup to Goldman and Helen. Lastly through Domingo, Yeste, and Inigo’s stories, the author illustrates…

    The Princess Bride From climbing up seven hundred foot cliffs, to fighting off unusually large rodents, and a climactic resurrection, The Princess Bride is the story of an adventure keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. The story surrounds the cliché: the hero always gets the girl. We follow the protagonist Westley as he sets out on an action filled journey driven by his love for a woman named Buttercup.
