The Bride-Groom Prince
The story was really the tragedy of Prince Humperdinck, who dreams of a beautiful wife and a flourishing Florin, but realizes he can only have one. His reign is weakening, threatened by the centuries-rival to Florin, Guilder. To ensure the wealth and longevity of his country, he must remind the populous that Guilder is not to be trusted, despite their show of benevolence and generosity in recent years. He must unite the Florinians in their hatred of Guilder, as well as unite Florins’ sense of Florinian identity, and he must do so in a single swift move. He realizes the only solution, of course, is to sacrifice the woman he would have loved, the woman the country would have loved. He finds Buttercup, realizes she is the one, and with a heavy heart goes on with the evil task befallen on him. For the persistence of his kingdom he will sacrifice her. And his plan, intricate and subtle, might have worked—had it not been for the new Dread Pirate Roberts, Westley, Buttercup’s adolescent sweetheart. In Westley, Prince Humperdinck finds a foe on matters both of country and of love. Not under the burden of rule, Westley is free to love Buttercup in a way Humperdinck will never know. Not under the burden of Florin law or loyalty, Westley as a pirate is free to make a deal with Guilder: he will destroy Humperdinck’s last-ditch effort to defend his land against Guilder reign in exchange for a mighty sum. Ultimately, Westley is able to unravel Humperdinck’s careful plan, and steals away with Buttercup, leaving Humperdinck without any means to swiftly unite his people against the looming Guilder threat. In the end, Humperdinck is left with nothing but a mournful heart and a crumbling country.
