Fortunato

Analyzing Fortunato “The gait of my friend was unsteady, and the bells upon his cap jingled as he strode” (2). In the story “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe there are two quite interesting and unusual main characters. Their names are Montresor and Fortunato. One night Montresor finds Fortunato at a carnival. He is very drunk. Fortunato has insulted Montresor many times in his life. Montresor wants to get back at him for insulting him so many times. He lures Fortunato into the catacombs

narrator intends to eliminate Fortunato, his enemy, by burying him alive. Montresor analyzes each of the characters flaws and uses it to his advantage. As a result, Montresor’s understanding of reverse psychology helped him accomplish his murder by manipulating the flaws against them. The stubbornness of Fortunato developed the plan of his own death. Montresor tells Fortunato that they should not enter the vaults because of the nitre it is concealed with; nevertheless, Fortunato insists that a cold will

been five years since Fortunato and I met we were just ten years old. And since then we’ve been inseparable. However, recently, we’ve grown apart. As I am pondering our faded relationship, I look out the window to Fortunato’s house. “Why aren’t we close as we used to be?” I wonder to myself. I then get the idea to go over and ask him. Coming upon his house I notice that he’s not there, in fact everything in his house is gone too. My mother sees me, “are you looking for Fortunato?” I nod yes “well if

Montresor did have a motive for killing Fortunato. Montresor was seeking revenge and felt the need to kill Fortunato. Baraban argues that the motive had to do with social status and the way Montresor was living at the time. In this essay, Montresor stated, “ He [Fortunato] was a man to be respected and even feared” (p.6). Also, he mentions, “You are happy, as once I was. You are a man to be missed” (p.6). These quotes illustrate that even though Fortunato was powerful and fearful, he did not pose

that Fortunato wears in the beginning and throughout the story not gives allusion to the carnival setting, but signifies his carefree way of living. As his name suggests and what Montresor provides in his dialogue, he is a man worthy of envy with his wealth and loved ones; contrarily, he wears the opposite of what he pictures himself as, which is a foolish drunkard whose intelligence relies on jokes instead of logic. Coincidentally, a jester is just what the protagonist characterizes Fortunato as,

the afternoon of a chilly day in February, I was sat by the fireplace in Fortunato’s home, chatting over wine. “Remarkable, is it not?” boosted Fortunato, “Montresor?” “Mhm?” I answered absentmindedly, my attention was taken by the giant coat of arms stationed on the wall. “The Amontillado, what do you make of it?” “Mhm, a bit...dry.” “Ah, the Fortunato Coat of Arms.” He turned his attention towards it. “Brilliant piece of work, but not nearly as magnificent as the Montresor coat of arms.” I jested

my own amusement. My dear friend, Fortunato went missing on the day of carnival. He still has not been found and I am the only one who knows where he is, and what happened to him. If you are intrigued, then please do listen to what I have to say. He was the cause of the pain in my heart. I knew at that moment when he took my most precious possession, he was a dead man. It all started when he took her. I was the witness, the victim. We were good friends, Fortunato and I were. One day I came upon a

Amontillado” suggests that the true motivation of Montressor to murder Fortunato is all caused by Montressor’s jealousy. In the story, the plot that Montresor is jealous of Fortunato has been shown at the beginning of the story, “You are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, as once I was” (Edgar Allan Poe, 1846). This sentence provides many pieces of information, which are all can show the jealousy of Montressor to Fortunato. There are four aspects that Montressor wants to get, which are money

revenge on a man named Fortunato for his wrongful actions committed against him. Fortunato insulted Montressor in the past, so Montressor sets up a plan to extinguish Fortunato's flame once and for all. In the midst of a town gathering, Montressor informs Fortuanto of a fine cask of wine he has acquired. Fortunato being a fine wine tester insists he must test this wine which Montressor informs him is located deep in the pillazo beneath his family mansion. Montressor leads Fortunato deep into the pillazo

by his former acquaintance, Fortunato. He wants to execute his revenge, but in a way that doesn’t make him look suspicious. He knows Fortunato has an Achilles heel for wine and uses that weakness against him. Montresor manipulated Fortunato to go with him to explore ancient catacombs with promises of rich and finely aged wine, while treating him to regular wine along the way. He planned to have a trowel with him to easily set up the bricks to trap him and when Fortunato suggested Luchesi come with
