Antagonist

Character Role Analysis

Prince Humperdinck

It isn't often that we see a movie villain kill the movie hero, and then get thwarted by him later in the film. In fact, we're having a hard time thinking of another instance. Usually when you're dead you're dead.

But as Humperdinck himself admits, he killed Westley "too quickly," and that mistake would come back to haunt him. At least he escaped with his life in the end. Just think of all the dastardly deeds he'll be able to commit in the coming years.

Yo Wes…you sure you don't want to come back and finish him off?
