sorry this is my first answered question but I hope I gave you something to work with :)
Explanation: The Princess Bride is very much a work of satire. It mocks the typical portrayal of love in popular romance novels and stories such as Romeo and Juliet by exaggerating many of the tropes. For starters, it gave the damsel in distress a name like Buttercup. Wesly says "as you wish" as an "I love you". It has a vain king who wants to marry buttercup, it has the swordsman wanting revenge for his father, it has the gentle giant and the scheming yet idiotic man. Every character has over-the-top characteristics or motives that pokes fun at the stereotypes commonly found in romantic European fairytales.
