How are princess bride and cyrano de bergerac alike?

Answer 1

In the books?

Both Tristran and Westley work on farms.

They both long for the woman they love with no results for a long time (Buttercup takes an age to notice that Westley loves her and Victoria uses Tristran's love to manipulate him).

They both travel for their loves (Westley goes to America to seek his fortune so that he can afford a house for himself and Buttercup. Tristran goes across the Wall to seek a fallen star for Victoria so that she will not marry another).

Both heroes become changed when they come back to their home land, (Westley is a strong and intelligent pirate and Tristran is an equally strong and physical man).

Both are books which cover rites of passage, such as growing up (Buttercup grows up a great deal when Westley dies and Tristran grows up because he has to face so much danger on his journey)

The main genres are romance, adventure and fantasy

Both books contain magic/miracles

Both Tristran, Yvaine and Buttercup are all royalty or have been during the story, (Tristran and Yvaine marry and become King and Queen and Buttercup almost marries Prince Humperdink)

This is all I can think of for the time being..
