Theme Of Love In William Goldman's Princess Bride

Throughout this entire book, (Princess Bride; By William Goldman), Buttercup and Westley’s love is challenged. From the very beginning to the very end. Even at the start when Buttercup does not know that she loves him till before he leaves, it is challenge by all the things she asks him to do. He just says “as you wish” which means I love you. But you know love always has to be difficult and we he leaves he dies then which puts buttercup in the worst place in her life. Then later in the book they reunite and get separated again and could you guess what happens next? Yes! He dies again, how marvelous. And yet again he comes back alive and saves the princess and the get married and live happily ever after. Are they really meant to be together? Well, honestly I think that the book does not want them to be together, but their love is so strong that the book has no other choice then to keep them together. If they did not keep them together the fan base would be extremely mad. If I was the man in black I would of just said “Screw It. She is not worth it.” But it would not of been much of a book if he would of done that.
Westley suffers way more in this book then Buttercup.
I mean when he got captured by the Pirates he basically woke up every morning thinking that he was going to die. Tat one guy told him that every day. That, for me, would be the worst thing. Like why not just kill me now and not make me suffer thinking about it. And plus he then goes and gets bitten by a giant rat and risks his life to save Buttercup in the lightning sand. OH! And he dies! He suffers the worst known pain to man (besides stubbing your toe) for her. All she really suffered was a year or so without westley. The man going through all the work and the woman doing nothing. Shouldn’t it be the other way around? Anyways, it just goes to show how much Wetley truly loves
her.
Now I do not know who pooped in Mr. Humperdink’s corn flakes, but he seems to be a real pain, and the only one who doesn’t want Westley and Buttercup to be together. I do not the the reasoning behind this though. It is not like he likes Buttercup, I mean he did try to have someone kill her. But he still does not want them to be together, and I think I know why. It is because he is jealous, not of that Westley admires her and she admires him, but of their love. How he can not have love like them, and if he can not have anyone love him then no one can.
