The Princess Bride - Lola

The Princess Bride

 

I am reading "The Princess Bride" written by William Goldman.

 

In this book, everybody can have a different perspective on who the protagonist is and who the antagonist is. This is my perspective.

 

The protagonist's in this book are Westley and Buttercup. Buttercup is the fairest maiden in all the land, with her astonishing long, blonde hair. She is very curios and is very emotional. She used to live on a farm with her parents, but was later forced by Prince Humperdinck, to get married to him. Buttercup could either marry him (because of her beauty) or die. Westley is very brave and quiet. He is very persistent. He used to work on the farm that Buttercup lived in. But then he went to America. He came back many years later, stronger, more skillful and braver. He became the man in black, but after battling Fezzik, Inigo and Vizzini, he revealed himself to Buttercup. BUT, Buttercup was then found again by Prince Humperdinck and he took her back to the castle. But locked Westley in the Zoo of Death to be tortured. Buttercup knows nothing about Westley in the Zoo of Death.

 

The antagonist in this book is Prince Humperdinck. Prince Humperdinck is very nasty, tricky and mean. He is the prince of Florin and soon to be the king. He has a very big passion for hunting animals and because of this he created the Zoo of Death. Prince Humperdinck forced Buttercup to marry him because of her beauty. When Buttercup ran away he was looking for her, because he knew she was with Westley. He took her back to the castle and locked Westley in the Zoo of Death, separating Buttercup and Westley. He told Count Rugen to torture Westley. He then told Buttercup that Westley was away at sea. He is not a very nice man. He told Buttercup this because he promised her if Westley replies her letters, she could get married to him, if he does not she gets married to Humperdinck.
