Comparing Revenge In The Cask Of Amontillado And The Poison Tree

The story "The Cask of Amontillado" and the poem "The Poison Tree" can be seen as very similar. One topic which will use to makes the story and poem seem similar is how the foes angred the narrator and Montresor into wanting revenge.
