Differences Between The Princess Bride Book And Movie

The Princess Bride is described as a fairy tale adventure. It’s about a young lady and her one true love after a long time of separation he has to find her and save her. The novel and the movie had many different similarities and differences. We will go over many different things that have changed but also things that have stayed the same.

Now one difference that really stood out to me was In the book Wesley was held captive and tortured in the zoo of death. In the movie, he was in a pit of despair but there were no different creatures or animals like there were in the book. In the movie, he didn’t go through the different levels of torture he only got put on the machine.

All in all, this was an overall rundown of the novel/movie The Princess Bride, and also a compare and contrast of the things that were similar and the things that were
