Montresor was a very evil character that was full of many other characteristics. In the story “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allen Poe I found three specific characteristics for Montresor that completely caught my eye, was his determination to get revenge, his cleverness in doing so, and last he was completely heartless. Each of these completely describe Montresor to a core.

He makes sure Fortunato is not expected at home or anywhere else on the night of his plan, Montresor had to be patient throughout this.

Last Montresor was completely heartless. He didn’t change his mind once when he heard the begging of Fortunato to let him go.
