Then later in the book, in chapter 5, a man dressed in black appears when daisy is in danger and saves the day. Buttercup then realizes that the man in black is actually Westley, and he is not dead but is alive with set of brand new skills "Words followed her. Whispered from far, weak and warm and familiar. "as...you....wish..." Dawn in the Mountains. buttercup turned back to the source of the sound and stared down as, in first light, the man in black struggled to remove his mask. "Oh, my sweet Westley," Buttercup said. "What have I Done to you now?" (Page. 186) Vizzini was hired by Humperdinck to kidnap his wife, buttercup, and kill her.

Vizzini was killed by the man in black, this where goldman makes his twist. When the game of wits begins you would hope that the man in black truly tricked him but in reality he cheated him and poisoned both glass, instead of making Westley the big hero. " "You guessed wrong," said the man in black. "you only think i guessed wrong," said Sicilian, his laughter ringing louder. "That's whats's so funny. I switched glasses when your back was turned." There was nothing for the man in black to say. "Fool!" cried the hunchback. "you fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well known is this: 'Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.'" He was quite cheery until the iocane powder took effect. The man n black stepped quickly over the corpse, then roughly ripped the blindfold from the princess's eyes." First introduced Fezzik and Inigo come off as villains because they were working for Vizzini, it turns out that these two were not villains at all, they were just in bad times and alone which Vizzini took advantage of. Both characters have very in depth back stories and turn out to be the good guys. They end up helping Westley and even save his life by taking him to a healer, they even agree to help in the rescue of buttercup. "What are your liabilities?" "There is but one working castle gate and its guarded by perhaps a hundred men." "Thats all? Thats it? Thats everything? The grand total?" # 1 (The Story) # 2 (Westley) Thesis In the book The Princess Bride, William Goldman tries to rethink the original and standard fairytale by adding twist to many of the situations throughout the book, this surprises the reader which forces them to think more deeply about the literature. The author succeeds in making the reader question the traditional and reach for more complex literature. Goldman The Man in Black Buttercup & Westley Vizzini The Princess Bride Everything in this book is INCONCEIVABLE! Conclusion # 4 (Inigo & Fezzik) Goldman creates this very detailed lie entangling the entire story that leaves most readers confused, they cant figure out if its a real story or not. Goldman made a detailed map to try and convince them even further. He even makes the city have a name which is similar to a real city, when other fairy tales use names that are not like others, such as Neverland or Wonderland. Goldman uses all these twist and lies to convince the reader that the story is real. He is showing that the limits and expectations should be pushed so much further than the ordinary to make the reader that much more in depth. THE PRINCESS BRIDE # 3 (Vizzini) Fezzik & Inigo In conclusion, twist and lies are created throughout the book to make you, the reader, experience the book, not just read the book. Goldman wants readers to expect more and greater things out of the books that they read.
