Character Role Analysis

Inigo Montoya/Westley

They might have been at cross-purposes when they first met, but these two were bound to become friends. Both excellent swordsmen, both with a wry sense of humor, both grimly determined to conquer their respective rivals.

That is, they were bound to become friends if one of them didn't kill the other first. Fortunately, Westley proved he has the "mercy" gene. Phew.
