The Princess Bride: Grief, Loss, and Revenge Fantasies

from Popcorn Psychology · host Popcorn Psychology

In this episode on Rob Reiner's 80s Classic: The Princess Bride we discuss Grief and loss and the different ways that people react to it. We primarily focus on the presentations of Buttercup, Westley, and Inigo and the different ways in which the deal with losses in their lives. We also discuss the concept of revenge fantasies and how they represent a classic McGuffin that drives many plots, but, in reality rarely works out the way people imagine.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/popcorn-psychology--3252280/support.
