Chapter Seven: The Wedding

     So now, Fezzik and Inigo are outside the door of the Zoo of Death. They open it then descend through each of the levels, through much difficulty and danger, and take Westley's body to Miracle Max. From there they gather items on short, dangerous quests to make a revival pill so Westley can come back to life, stop the wedding, take the princess, help them all escape, and in between, help Inigo find Count Rugen so he can kill him.

     Right now, for the umpteenth time, Humperdinck is telling Yellin to prepare for Guilder soldiers to come Kidnap Buttercup. Again Yellin tells him he has no word of attack and now he resigns. The Prince denies his resignation and tells him he is killing Buttercup and that Yellin himself will rule Guilder for him if things go off without a hitch. Guilder accepts and the prince makes the wedding earlier so things will happen faster.

     Miracle Max realizes that he messed up the pill, and instead of reviving Westley for an hour, it will only revive him for 40 minutes. It's too late. Now Fezzik and Inigo take Westley's body to the castle. They revive him, and once they cure him of his self-defeat, they head forward and use a holocaust cloak to scare the Brute Squad.

     At the same time Buttercup is getting married, yet she isn't focusing on the wedding, just on how Westley will save her. They hear screaming and Rugen and four of his best swordsman go out to find that the Brute Squad is gone. For Fezzik sported the flaming cloak yelling that he was Dread Pirate Roberts and that there would be no survivors.

     I didn't really talk about it much but the scene with Miracle Max is hilarious! Basic husband and wife quarreling. Goldman also reveals that they're named after Morgenstern's parents. Maybe the character's are based on them also. I love how there are little spouts of comedy about the novel. Like how, once Westley is revived he says he wish he remembered death so he could write a book on it and become a millionaire. Also, something I haven't dove into yet is the suspense. That is a constant throughout these last few chapters, even more than in the beginning. Now that all of the mystery of the characters is gone, well except the albino, nobody really understands where he came from, the suspense is all that's left. The quest for true love. And the way the time is given minutely for each character's situation is pretty cool too. I really have enjoyed reading this book and it's a shame that there's only one chapter to go.

Contingencies- contingency (n.): chance of possible event.

Again, Webster's.
Wow, I just looked at my chpt. 5 post. Much better job now, huh? On summarizing and whatnot? Hey, Goldman is the cool abridger guy, not me. I'm also not a guy, but that's beside the point. Okay, I'ma quit talkin' to myself. ^_^
