![]() The "true love" of Buttercup and Westley contrasts with the reality of "Goldman's" love life. He's also cynical about love: in the frame story, he attempts to cheat on his wife (and is shot down). The fictional "Goldman" (who is biographically different from the real Goldman, who has two daughters rather than one son) is a rather bitter person, and that's parallel to his realization that the book is so different from what he remembers. ![]() His "father" concocted a fairy tale out of a supposedly true story. The "abridgment" is one element of that: his realization that the story that was read to him was not, in fact, the actual story. It's about the disillusionment of children growing up, and the business of fairy tales. ![]() The frame story is very different in the book than in the film. The abridgment is part of the overall frame story. ![]()
