Fortunato's Assassination

In the story Montresor described us as cold and calculating person, not the least externalize their feelings toward Fortunato, but awaits his chance. Knows very well what is your biggest flaw and exploits it to the fullest. Choose the right time for this: the Carnival.

Looking at the description of Monstresor, Fortunato described as easy prey. Tells us that he drunk enough and was wearing a clown. Its appearance is quite comical almost ridiculous. He knows that Fortunato will not resist to an amontillado, and for sure you want to be told of a possible competitor to yours: Luchresi. Fortunato makes it feel some envy towards that person and do not hesitate at any time. Montresor warns the humid conditions found in the cellars, and greatly
impair their physical condition. But this warning is false complements. A Montresor does not mind being embarrassed Fortunato may as well happen in the hold, because ultimately going to kill him.

It is very important to emphasize the elements that surround the assassination.
First, the servants were not at home. Montresor himself has been careful not to have witnessed his crime. The fools telling them not to return until the following day. The description of the wineries in the family is without doubt a true reflection of a sinister, damp, dark, covered with cobwebs, bones, etc. Furthermore it is a place where no one enters. This scenario described by Poe is the place to commit the crime. Fortunato poor start to experience the first signs of moisture in the cellar. This means that Montresor reprises his role of a person concerned about the health of his colleague, although ultimately only serve to feed the ego of Fortunato. His sarcasm reaches the point that when Fortunato expressed its intention to continue, because the cough is not going to kill him, Montresor answer yes knowing that will not cough, but he who will end his
days.

At the time when the two characters enter a crypt where everything is ready.
The darkness is key because it allows no glimpse of where it is headed Fortunato as his tea was consumed almost entirely, something that has been repaired Montresor. This forces the hapless Fortunato to penetrate into the crypt without hesitation because that is where the course is Cask of Amontillado. Fortunato is so drunk he does not understand what happens and let it do. Is the time required by his avenger to chain to pared.La Montresor irony reaches its peak when chained Fortunato once asked if he still wants to return. Is at their mercy to his enemy that he has offended, do not know how, but for the kind of revenge must have been quite serious. Poe tells how Montresor gets to work diligently to raise the wall that would cover the niche where it will lie Fortunato lifetime.

What is most distressing is that as the wall moves Montresor, Fortunato's drunkenness is passed making it more macabre burial in life.
We know of her anguish for the shock of the chains in an attempt to escape, and some groans it emits. Revenge comes to such an extent that Montresor is stopped in its work, sitting on a pile of bones, listening quietly suffering of his victim. Enjoy with revenge being carried out. Once you stop screaming continues its work. But do not stop there but eager to see him suffer projects the light of his torch on his face. It then reacts badly Fortunato Montresor, foil in hand, spear thrusts into the hole of the niche. Not content with this imitates him raising his voice more as a sign of mockery and sarcasm, while continuing his work as a
mason.

And then, completely cleared of drunken Fortunato, jokes with the sight, and asks Montresor his release. But all I get is that this place the last stone from his grave and go leaving him there alone. At this point the story we are faced with the difficulty of deciding between whether the term for the love of God.

Fortunato, according to his murderer, tried to resist, but in vain. Poe describes his latest move with the light tinkling of bells. It is significant that Montresor actually feel some regret and pity for Fortunato. And get the expression In requiescat pace! This expression may have been given by Montresor himself in a tone of sorrow or regret, or it may be because once the narrative of events Montresor had died, and is a cleric in the pronounce that sentence. For the last few lines indicate that for half a century no one has touched the grave in which lies Fortunato. It makes us think that if it has been fifty years since these events occurred. So it is possible that Montresor is confessing his crime arrival time.

To conclude this analysis of The Cask of Amontillado, which does not appear throughout the story, but rather was a decoy to lure Fortunato, so they can perpetrate their crime, we must highlight the excessive desire for revenge that has the character . A revenge that leads him to live his enemy wall as it used to in ancient times
