case of premeditated murder, revenge for an undisclosed insult. “Fortunato had hurt me a thousand times and I had suffered quietly. But then I learned that he had laughed at my proud name Montresor, the name of an old and honored family. I promised myself that I make him pay for this that I would have revenge.” (Poe, Edgar Allen.

case, epically in Montresor and Fortunato situation. As we all know in the story of “The Cask of Amontillado” Montresor and Fortunato aren’t even close to friends in fact Montresor plans to kill Fortunato and succeeds. But why, what made Montresor want to plan such a despicable act was it betrayal, lie or.

Aside from being egotistical, both Fortunato and Jack Sparrow are deranged.

“Where is everyone?!” shouted Fortunato. “And where’s all the drinks?! Ahhh, there they are!” Fortunato exclaimed. Fortunato had a rather… troubled adulthood. With his booming personality, he always made new friends. He got with the wrong group of friends that would feed him drinks again and again, which he became addicted to. Montresor on the other hand wasn’t as social as Fortunato so he was more of a loner and focused on his career into adult hood. He became extremely successful in his career

the name of Fortunato has suddenly disappeared from the city of Rome. Fortunato was a rich, nice man who has been living in Rome for the past twenty seven years.
