Well to answer that I must know what fantasy is. “One way of defining literary fantasy is simply to say that it deals with what is impossible – it is only fantasy.” The structure and plot of fantasy is built like this: “1. Conflict: Something is wrong. A conflict or a struggle between good and evil is breaking out, and signs of this may be that magic is beginning to fail.” “2. Point of no return: the hero/heroine realizes that something must be done = moment of recognition, OR the hero/heroine is assigned the inescapable task of setting things right.” “3. Quest: The hero/heroine sets out on an impossible mission. The danger he/she meets are not small, petty dangers: not a normal snake, but a dragon; not a bossy teacher, but a witch (or worse). …show more content…
Like when Westley got revived by a miracle pill, which was made by the Miracle Max. The reason Westley died is also completely ridicules, since he died to a magical machine, that can somehow suck life force from someone.

That could be a tragedy that happened in real life. Inigo Montoya’s story is also very believable. I know I would take revenge on whoever killed my father, when I was a kid, and the murderer is very easy to identify, since six fingers on one hand is very rare, but it is very well possible, as mutations is a thing. Corrupt kingdoms and governments is a thing we have in real life too. Not to mention people who will do anything for money, and in this movie, there are 3 people, who are willing to kidnap an innocent girl, bring her across the ocean, take her all the way to another country, and only did it for the
