An elderly man reads the book "The Princess Bride" to his sick and thus currently bedridden adolescent grandson, the reading of the volume which has been passed downwardly within the family unit for generations. The grandson is sure he won't similar the story, with a romance at its cadre, he prefers something with lots of activity and "no kissing", but he lets grandfather proceed, because he doesn't want to hurt his feelings. The story centers on Buttercup, a former subcontract daughter who has been chosen as the princess helpmate to Prince Humperdinck of Florian. Buttercup does not love him, she who withal laments the death of her ane true dearest, Westley, five years ago. Westley was a hired manus on the subcontract, his stock answer of "equally y'all wish" to whatsoever asking she made of him which she came to understand was his mode of saying that he loved her. But Westley went away to sea, only to exist killed by the Dread Pirate Roberts. On a horse ride to clear her mind of her upcoming predicament of union, Buttercup is kidnapped past a band of bandits: Vizzini who works on his wits, and his 2 associates, a giant named Fezzik who works on his brawn, and a Spaniard named Inigo Montoya, who has trained himself his entire life to be an expert swordsman. They in plough are chased by the Dread Pirate Roberts himself. Merely chasing them all is the Prince, and his men led past Count Tyrone Rugen. What happens to these collectives is dependent partly on Buttercup, who does not want to marry the Prince, and may see other options every bit bottom evils, and partly on the other motives of individuals within the groups. But a larger question is what the grandson volition think of the story as it proceeds and at its end, especially as he sees justice as high a priority as action. —Huggo
