How Did Poe Get Revenge In The Cask Of Amontillado

In The Cask of Amontillado, by Edgar Allan Poe, the narrator shows that he really wants his revenge with his thoughts and actions. In the story, Poe’s narrator, who insists that he wants to get his revenge, doesn’t explain why he wants to get his revenge, but he decides how he is going to kill Fortunato. After murdering Fortunato, Montresor starts to feel remorse for killing Fortunato. Montresor was never caught, but 50 years later he told someone how he had killed Fortunato, but never why he killed him. At the beginning of the story, the narrator vows for revenge, but he doesn’t oppose a threat. In the opening paragraph, he says, “I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat.” (3) It is clear that when the narrator gets insulted by Fortunato, he wants his revenge.
Later in the story, the narrator goes to the carnival searching for Fortunato. Suddenly, Fortunato appears in a clown costume. In the story, he says, “He accosted me with excessive warmth, for he had been drinking too much. The man wore a motley. He had on a tight-fitted parti-striped dress, and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells.” (3,4) It is clear that the narrator is happy to see Fortunato because he is trying to act like he is not trying to kill Fortunato, but he is. This shows that Montresor is playing the smart boat. Toward the end of the story, the narrator is happy that Fortunato is dying, until, Fortunato doesn’t speak anymore and Montresor starts to yell Fortunato’s name because he feels bad. This is shown when he says, “Yes,” I said, “let us be gone.” “For the love of God, Montresor!” “Yes,” I said, “for the love of God!” “But to these words I hearkened in vain for a reply. I grew impatient, he said. I called aloud: “Fortunato!” No
