Analysis
I got the chance to read The Princss Bride, so I did
Like many people, I grew up with the movie. The quotable lines, the swashbuckling adventure, the perfect romance - it was all burned into my memory. "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya" became a cultural touchstone. "As you wish" was shorthand for true love. And "Inconceivable!" - well, we all know what that means. So when I spotted The Princess Bride at a bookstore, I grabbed it without hesitation, expecting a straightforward novelization of the story I already knew by heart.

'I Have no Mouth, And I Must Scream' by Harlan Ellison Has a New Meaning Depending on When You Read it
I read this story twice, the first time as a 14 year-old, and the second time yesterday. And I believe that depending on your circumstance, and where you are in life, you will extract different meanings from this story at the end.

Quotes From Sense & Sensibility
