When all is said and done, Goldman tells us that it was years after publishing the original abridged Princess Bride that he found out about a sequel to it called Buttercup's Baby. Instead, the truth is that Westley and Buttercup will continue to fight all the time about petty little stuff that married couples always fight about. They eventually succeed and we expect them to live happily ever after.īut Goldman is a realist, so he reminds us that there's no such thing as happily-ever-after in real life. He returns and enlists the help of a swordsman named Inigo and a giant named Fezzik to recapture Buttercup before it's too late.
But of course it turns out that Westley isn't dead. Since her heart is dead, Buttercup figures that Humperdinck will make as good a husband as anyone else, so the two get engaged. Meanwhile, the prince of Florin, a guy named Humperdinck, hears about Buttercup's beauty and decides that he'd like to marry her.
Buttercup cries and vows never to love again. While he's gone, word gets back to Buttercup that Westley has ben killed by the Dread Pirate Roberts, a mythical pirate who never leaves any survivors. But he still wants to travel to America and make his fortune before the two of them get married. Eventually, though, Buttercup realizes that she's in love with Westley-and luckily for her, Westley feels the same way. She is one of the most beautiful women in the world and she tends to spend most of her days bossing around a poor boy named Westley who works on her land. So there's this girl named Buttercup who lives on a farm. It takes some convincing, but his publisher eventually agrees. So Goldman sets out to create a new edition of the book with only the "good parts" left in it. It's only at this moment that he realizes how his dad must have skipped over the boring parts of the book, instead reading only the good parts. When Goldman takes the time to look through the copy he's bought his son, he realizes that the story is nothing like the one his dad used to read him. Jason barely gets through the first chapter, though, before giving up on the book. Goldman liked the book so much that he decides to give his own son, Jason, a copy on his tenth birthday. It was called The Princess Bride and it was by this guy named S. Goldman opens the book by telling us about this awesome story his father used to read to him when he was just a kid.
