Epic Paper There are always hardships and battles that a person must experience in order to have true love. Some people give up with fighting for love, while others fight until their last breath. In the epic movie, The Princess Bride, the characters go through many obstacles, so they can achieve this type of real love; in any epic story, the hero must fight certain battles in order to accomplish this task. The story has three main battles that Westley must face, so he can save his lady love, the battle against her kidnappers, the battle against nature (the Fire Swamp), and the battle against Prince Humperdink. To begin with, Westley has to face each of Buttercup’s kidnappers in a battle, so he can save her. Each fight becomes harder as he goes along with his quest to save Buttercup. The first battle is a battle of skill against Inigo Montoya. Inigo has trained for 20 years on a quest to avenge his father’s murder, and he has become very swift with his sword. He tells Westley that he wants to give him a fair shot in the battle because he likes him. After Westley defeats Inigo, he moves on to his next battle which is against Fezzik, the giant. This battle against Fezzik is a battle of brawn. Fezzik is an enormous giant also hired by Vizzini, along with Inigo to help him kidnap Buttercup. Before the battle begins, Fezzik throws a rock at Westley to try to startle him. Westley already knows that this battle will be tougher than his battle with Inigo, so he jumps on Fezzik’s back to weaken the giant’s strength. Finally after a tiresome battle, Westley beats the giant, and he moves on to his final and hardest battle against Vizzini, which is a battle of brains. Vizzini thinks that he is so smart and that no one can outsmart him. He has no compassion or remorse for anything or anyone and this is why this battle is the most important. The battle
