Montressor's And I To Your Long Life
“And I to your long life.” This quote from Montressor is ironic because he is saying that he hopes Fortunato will have a long life while he is plotting Fortunato’s murder.
His actions, voice, and words show that Montressor is not a reliable narrator. The warmth with which Fortunato greeted Montressor indicates that it’s probable that he imagined Fortunato injuring him 1000 times and insulting him; however, I believe the rest of the story was not a figment of his imagination because if it was, Fortunato would not have greeted him so warmly.
