Princess Blog

This story of a princess who fell in love with a pauper who is also her childhood sweetheart is set in the medieval age of Kings and kingdoms. As kids, these children are free to play with each other, but will undoubtedly move away as they grow up and take on more responsibilities.

It is also interesting to note that princesses and princes from different Kingdoms are usually arranged to marry. The reason for this is that their Kingdoms will be linked and hence, more food, more resources and more power for the separate kingdoms. Here’s a brief summary of The Princess Bride (20th Anniversary Edition):

This is a damsel in distress story and the heroine is a princess called Buttercup. She gets kidnapped and forced to marry the Prince Humperdinck. Her prince charming in this movie is Westley, her childhood sweetheart (now returned as the Dread Pirate Roberts). Westley attempts to rescue her, together with an accomplished swordsman and a huge, super strong giant, both of which he meets along the way.

The revolves around the concept of true love’s triumph over evil, and the notion that perseverance and friendship will get anyone through life. This, like other whismical and light fairytale stories ends in a happy ever after. It’s a cliche but it makes anyone feel good inside, in a mushy gushy way.
