The Princess Bride: Climax

The book I finished reading for my book report is "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman.  The climax of this novel is when Westley is pronounced dead. Buttercup is depressed and vows never to love again. After some time Prince Humperdinck comes to notice Buttercups beauty, and ask's (demands) her hand in marriage. Buttercup accepts as it is the only way to avoid death. The event that led to the climax was when Westley went to America to seek fortune.
