I had to read that in my Gothic Literature course. It only got worse from there. XD

Ha! So did I. Don't remember that much about it, although "dude crushed by giant helmet" rings a bell.

No, the best first-act plot twist was the one where they married, without undue drama, and lived happily ever after. And yet the audience stayed to see the other two acts.
