Examples Of Monologue From The Cask Of Amontillado
Well, guess only idiots say that.

With a truly delightful laughter.

Tomosato:

Alright. I am a

I followed an idiot this far.

I can let him get away.

I'd embark on an escape route if ya could think of one, but guess ya're not that good.

As he says this and brusquely turns his back to Sakuya, he departs with a brisk pace, perhaps implying, "come with me," but he hastens toward the fishfolk group restraining Rui.

"I'm taking you to a nice place," his invitation might lead to a deceitful gambling house, offering not an escape route, nor a darn thing.

The fishfolk, who were listening to the gist of Sakuya and Tomosato's exchange, cannot close their mouths, agape from his excessive irresponsibility and lack of integrity.

some among them,

In human terms, the fishfolk gathered here are more soldiers, and yet...

Not a single one among them, nor Sakuya, nor Rui...

...are with eyes of fear, of danger, and certainly not of terror at Tomosato's pace.

Not a single one of them.

And this is why Rui is taken away, escaping together with Sakuya.

After briskly walking to the front-line fishfolk guarding Rui, slaying them with three swings, taking Rui's hand, and bringing her to Sakuya, Tomosato pushes her back, entrusting her to the young man.

Simply walking and slaying.

What Tomosato does is just this.

He drags Rui as though it was a supplementary act.

Since his feet have sandals of only leather and no iron, his steps are quiet, his swordsmanship is ludicrous to call it 'casual during a stroll,' identical to poking a roadside twig with an umbrella, and the only way to represent it is'more like he is eating and farting,' instead of trying to forcibly fit this act into the mold of extraordinary sword technique and perfect stride.

Where are they going to be? ponders not only the fishfolk witnessing this but also their leader, who watches over Sakuya being pushed by Tomosato as he holds Rui's shoulders and totters toward the

Walking, slaying, and letting Sakuya drag Rui away.

Even as he manages this under these circumstances, what the fishfolk, what the sea legends experience initially is disorientation and confusion, followed by overwhelming anger and a sense of loss, and, at this moment...it is already too late.

The sea creatures, no longer an assembly of fishfolk but having now transformed into a mighty torrent—one that might draw a storm whose tyranny is comparable to a vehement tsunami—rush with fury toward the cave's entrance, chasing their princess in order to put the scoundrel to death.

But they have already lost their chance.

"The hitman has moved and now blocks the way to the cave where the two are escaping, but he is a mere human holding a single sword," think the fishfolk as they march toward him, but they have yet to realize that the one who freed the two from them is this same human.

A bloody wind rages...but with a fog of bluish-black

    The short story, “The Cask of Amontillado” written by Edgar Allen Poe is about a psychotic man named Montresor who seeks revenge against Fortunato, a man who allegedly committed malice towards him. Poe utilizes verbal irony to establish the story’s events and to create a humorous yet subtle way to show the misfortunes of Fortunato which eventually leads up to his death. For example, “Enough, he said; the cough is a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough” (Poe 241). Fortunato is correct because the cough does not kill him, however his death occurs later in the story because of a totally different reason. This conversation contributes to the story’s mood by adding a bit of humor since readers already know from the beginning…

    He wasn’t sure he could eat all six of the strips that he cut. He felt a strong urge to feed the great fish, his brother of the sea. Come on, hand, he thought. I need you very much and I don’t know how you could do this terrible thing to me. While rubbing his hand against his thigh to loosen the muscles, a seemingly unending mass shot up through the placid glass surface of the ocean and white, and foaming sea water gushed up with the beast, soaking Santiago.…

    Vardaman’s continual rants about the fish are merely his way of expressing his feelings and making sense of his mother’s death. He associates the conversion of a live fish into a dead one with the death of Addie. The concept that his own mother can vanish so suddenly is as psychologically painful, if not more, for him as it is for the other family members. Vardaman’s responses to Addie’s death are to some extent systematic, and they demonstrate that he is incapable of having a healthy emotional response to his mother’s death.…

    In the honor of the god Zeus, the Olympic Games were held in Olympia every fourth year between 776 B.C.E. and 395 C.E. One of the events was Chariot racing, the most popular sport in ancient times. Chariots were owned by the wealthy and used for warriors in battle. The race took place in an arena called hippodrome. The artists who painted the vase of the chariot race, had been successful in making an illusion that created speed. The horse’s tails and the charioteer’s hair are blown back by the rush of air. The painter also drew in a post at the end suggesting that the chariot is coming to the finish end, creating climax. The next big attraction was wrestling, boxing and the…
