The story is about the marriage of princess buttercup and prince Humperdinck. However, buttercup doesn't love Humperdinck at all. Her only, true lover is a farm boy, Westley who once left her away.
One day, buttercup goes to the forest riding a horse. Then suddenly, 3 men kidnaps her. They brings her to a cliff and there, they find a black mask man following them. The black mask man beats one of the 3 men, Inigo, ad also beats up other 2 men. Finally, he rescues the princess. Who is this mysterious, brave guy? He is Westley! Buttercup's true lover!
But the happinesss of reunion doesn't last long. Humperdinck's army find them. Buttercup decides to go back to the castle as the army promises to send Westley back safely to his place.
However, the army breaks the promise. They bring Westley to a secret place. There, Humperdinck tortured Westley, because Westley interfered his plan to marry with Buttercup and to kill her to start the war.
At this time, Inigo, who once fought with the black mask man(Westley) looks for Westley. One of the tasks in Inigo's life is to find out 6 fingered man and revenge him for killing his father. To accomplish this, Inigo needs Westley, who impressed Inigo for his fighting skills during the first battle . Finally, Inigo finds Westley and takes him out of the secret place. Then they launched to the plan to revenge for Inigo's father and to take Westley's true lover back.
A leader is very important person. They have a great power, and depending on how the leader uses the power, others' lives change. Humperdinck is the prince of the country. He has a strong power, and with this, Humperdinck tries to control others as he wants. He even triggers pain to the others for his personal achievement just like what he did to Buttercup and Westley. Obviously, he is not a good leader.
Inigo is a leader of the plan to revenge and save Buttercup. He knows exactly who is good at what, and accepts others' strong points. Based on these acknowledgements, he suceeds the plan.
A good leader, must consider the others and must not abuse their own power. A good leader should be modest and need to know the followers well. A leader can't do everything by himself or herself. They need others' help, and to get these helps, they also have to get other's belief and admiration. Considering these, I think Inigo is an example of the good leader.
The good leader, Inigo, impressed me in another way. At a cliff, the black mask man, Wetsley becomes in danger, as the rope he uses to climb up the cliff cut off. Indigogives Wetsley the new rope and when Wetsley reaches the top of the cliff, he even gives breaktime before they fight. Inigo could just let Wetsley to die on the cliff or start fighting when Wetsley is exhausted, but he doesn't.
Many times when we have to compete with someone, we consider the opposite as an enemy and just focus on winning. But there are more important things than winning. We have to respect the opposite and have a fair competition. At first, those things might seems to cause damages to us. But if we don't respect the opposite and have a fair competition, the result of the competition can't be accepted by the opposite, society, and importantly by ourselves, as we might feel guilty and ashamed.
