By doing that Montresor gets Fortunato curious and so Fortunato offers to help Montresor with a wine taste to be sure that it really is the Amontillado.

The Cask of Amontillado is a different breed of storytelling. The century in which the story was penned gave birth to romanticism, the movement that embraced the ideals of the enlightenment and cast away the chains of despotism. The era embodied the powerful influx of emotions humans find themselves dealing with so often, and challenged dozens of tenets that were once unquestionably thought of as the fabric of a moral society. In short, liberalism, radicalism, and Gothicism were on the rise, and in a time when the morals of society were being upended upon themselves, Edgar Allan Poe created a story centered around the idea that every villain is truly the hero in their own introspective thought. In the final pages of the short story, Montresor himself questions his feelings about the fate he has inflicted upon Fortunato. Truly, the Cask of Amontillado burdens the

In “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allen Poe, the dark side of human nature is illustrated through the character of Montresor and his victim, Fortunato. Montresor is a manipulative and vengeful person whom is obsessed with the downfall of Fortunato. Through the acts, words, and the thoughts of Montresor, one is able to see him carry out his plan for revenge.

In “Cask Of Amontillado” Montresor seems to have Fortunato's best interests in mind until his true intentions are revealed through his thoughts, not his actions. This is showing how Montresor is careful in his revenge; Fortunato disrespected Montresor, being the wicked and revengeful person he is must make him pay for his mistake. Therefore, Montresor carefully planned out his attack, he had every detail carefully outlined in his head. He made no mistakes; while Fortunato unknowingly made the biggest mistake of his life. Montresor felt satisfied and happy with the horrible crime he committed. While he was burying Fortunato alive, he enjoyed the screams of his foe, relishing in the fact that he won. “...felt

<br>The way the narrator treats his enemy is one of the clearest examples for ironic elements. When the characters meet, Montresor realises that Fortunato is afflicted with a severe cold, nevertheless he makes a point of him looking "remarkably well". Montresor acts in the most natural and friendly way towards the man object of his revenge, and even praises his "friend's" knowledge in the subject of wines. Also upon their meeting, Montresor begins a psychological manipulation of Fortunato. He claims that he needs his knowledge to ascertain that the wine he has purchased is indeed Amontillado. Furthermore, he acknowledges that Fortunato is engaged in another business (i.e.: the celebration of carnival), so he would go to Luchresi, who, one is made to believe, is a competitor of Fortunato's. To these words, Fortunato is forced by his pride to accompany Montresor to the vaults (where the Amontillado is kept), dissipate his doubts and also to prove his higher status than Luchresi as a connoisseur of wine. In fact, during their way down under in the catacombs, the twisted mind of Montresor, dares to give Fortunato the chance to go back, due to the almost unbearable dampness and foulness rampant in the vaults and Fortunato's state of health. The narrator clearly knows about the stubborn nature of Fortunato, and is

The cask of amontillado is a short story that Edgar Allen Poe wrote in 1846. Poe has written this particular story to be told in a first person point of view. Since Montresor is the narrator this concludes the fact that he is telling the story from his point of view. From the beginning it is clear that Montresor is an unreliable narrator. Throughout the story it is quite noticeable that Montresor is not trustworthy as a narrator, and that he has a mental instability.

A man, named Montresor always had a hard life, and always had got the short end of the stick. Unlike his best friend Fortunato, who was very liked, and had much fame. Even with all the fame, Fortunato tried not letting it get to his head. Both Fortunato and Montresor were diverse from one another, but they got along reasonably. Montresor was tolerable with what Fortunato had, even though he wanted all the money and fame Fortunato had. Montresor and Fortunato ended up being at the same carnival one night, and they were both partying and drinking for most of the night. All the drinking that night had led to Fortunato bragging about all the achievements he has made, which made Montresor feel sorrow and anger. Even though Montresor had much respect

The short-story Cask of Amontillado created in 1864 written by the famous creator of short stories named Edgar Allen Poe is a story mixed with two unlikely themes. Poe mixed together horror with humorous and created the short-story “Cask of Amontillado”. There are two main characters of which both are from a well-off background who originate from two long lines of heritage. Montresor who will become to be known as the predator in the story will commit a silent, deadly crime while Fortunato on the other hand will play the foolish, oblivious victim. These characters consist of many similar traits while also having some contrast similar to the happy, clumsy Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and also the dark, revenge-seeking captain known as Captain Armando Salazar.
