This chapter delves into the concepts of trauma, closure, and revenge fantasies. The speakers analyze the protagonist's emotional shutdown after a loss and discuss different ways people seek closure. They also highlight the dangers of negative narratives and the impact they have on our thoughts and actions.
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.
