    Within melodrama there are many conventions used that make ‘The Princess Bride’ unique from the rest. The language used in The Princess Bride consisted of many reoccurring words/phrases such as ‘As you wish’ and ‘Inconceivable.’ When Westly uses the phrase ‘As you wish’, it signifies that he is loyal to Buttercup, so when the man in black speaks through words Buttercup and the audience instinctively realise that Westly, even though he was supposed to be dead, was alive and had come to save her from peril. The phrase used by Vizzini ‘inconceivable’ is used to show the audience that this little hunched-backed man was quite intelligent and thought very highly of both himself and his plans. Exaggeration, epic action, heightened emotion, and music all contribute to making a regular play/movie into a melodramatic masterpiece.…

    The Princess Bride From climbing up seven hundred foot cliffs, to fighting off unusually large rodents, and a climactic resurrection, The Princess Bride is the story of an adventure keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. The story surrounds the cliché: the hero always gets the girl. We follow the protagonist Westley as he sets out on an action filled journey driven by his love for a woman named Buttercup. The manipulation of tropes, commonly recurring literary devices, give a comedic feel to this romance narrative structured plot. Typically, certain characters such as princes, henchman, and witches are specifically characterized during a romance narrative, but in The Princess Bride they claim alternative roles contributing to this light…

After you have softened the butter in the microwave and defrost the bananas, you mix all of those ingredients together until creamy. This is critical not only because these are the ingredients that taste phenomenal, but also because this is the foundation of the dough. Next, you mix together two and a fourth cups of flour with a teaspoon of baking soda and salt. The dry ingredients must be mixed together prior to being blended with the wet mixture due to the fact that the baking soda and salt needs to be evenly distributed throughout the entire mixture.…
