The Princess Bride - Week 8

 

Back to Week 7 -- Go to Week 9

 

Minute 50

Scared for her love’s life

Buttercup pleads for safety

Prince acquiesces

 

 

Westley shall return

To the pirate ship, Revenge

Humperdinck promised

 

 

Insidious prince

Subterfuge with Count Rugen

The Pits of Despair

 

 

 

Magnanimous speech

Buttercup has saved his life

Yet rides off with prince

 

 

Minute 51

Under crossbow threat

Hero bound and notices

Six-fingered right hand

 

 

 

Rugen’s anger flares

Concussion-inducing blow

Westley unconscious

 

 

Albino descends

Stone stairs echo the despair

Ambient candles

 

 

Minute 52

Cloth softly dabs wounds

Westley regains consciousness

Queries location

 

 

Voice-altering phlegm

Once cleared, hopelessness declared

Westley shall die there

 

 

Questioning process

Informed curing to prepare

For coming torture

 

 

Minute 53

Although he survived

The dreaded Fire Swamp, no one

Survives the maching

 

 

Despondent princess

Forlornly walks castle halls

Skulking prince watches

 

 

Narrator breaks in

King has died, couple married

Grandson is upset

 

 

Minute 54

The story is wrong

Buttercup can’t marry prince

It should be Westley

 

 

Boy loses temper

And almost rest of story

Must trust his grandpa

 

 

The Queen Buttercup

Introduced to commoners

And aging heckler

 

 

 

Minute 55

The rabble-rouser

Spews insults at Buttercup

Queen of putrescence

 

 

Princess awakens

From terrifying nightmare

Still yet to wed prince

 

 

Minute 56

Buttercup enters

Prince’s royal office space

Claims love for Westley

 

 

She would rather die

Than marry Prince Humperdinck

Who begins to scheme

 

 

Prince plants seeds of doubt

She left Westley; pirates lie

Creates compromise

 

 

Buttercup shall write

Four copies of a letter

Carried by fast ships
