The Princess Bride Character Analysis

In The Princess Bride by William Goldman, Wesley tries to save Buttercup first from her captors and then her husband. He does this after supposedly dying because he believes he loves Buttercup and wants to make sure she lives. Both loyalty and endurance are very evident and important to the story and character development. These qualities are responsible for many scenarios and traits throughout the story and characters.

Fezzik is like a small child or dog, if he believes in a person he will unconditionally be loyal to them. A third example involves Buttercup and Westley, “Buttercup hesitated not a
