    In “The Cask of Amontillado,” Poe engages the reader by using point of view to emphasize the untrustworthiness of Montresor's, the narrator’s, character. For example, when Montresor had described how Fortunato had inflicted him with “[a] thousand injuries” and “ventured upon insult”, “[Montresor] vowed revenge” (1). This is the moment when the reader first experiences his unreliability as a narrator. Montresor had never specified the copious wounds that he had supposedly suffered from Fortunato and the severity of his offense. Furthermore, when Montresor had voiced out that Fortunato had ventured, in order words proceed with knowledge of risks, he had let bias trickle into his words. Us, the readers do not know whether or not Fortunato had intentionally insulted Montresor with malicious intentions, but in Montresor’s phrasing of words, it implies that he did indeed intended to do so. This not only makes the reader question the extent of exaggeration that Montresor inserts into his statements, but the reliability of the narrator as the story progresses. In addition, after Montresor had successfully, albeit reluctantly, finishes burying Fortunato in the alcove, he remarks: “My heart grew sick—on account of the dampness of the catacombs” (9). Here, one can see that Montresor had almost a moment in which he had felt guilt, yet had been quick to disregard it to the scenery. The dash indicated that Montresor added the latter portion onto his thoughts as more of an afterthought, rather than a…

    “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as best I could; but when he ventured upon, I vowed revenge.” Montresor has felt that he has been insulted by Fortunato and he seeks revenge upon him. Since Montresor is seeking revenge Fortunato has to watch out, but that may be hard because throughout the story Fortunato is gullible, full of pride, and is an alcoholic.…

    Edgar Allan Poe terrified and befuddled readers with his short stories for over 150 years. Poe has written a lot of short stories, but the two of his most significant pieces are “Hop-Frog” and “The Cask of Amontillado.” The short story, “The Cask of Amontillado,” is about the protagonist, Montresor, who acts serene at the beginning in order to reel in Fortunato into his trap, but at the end, his behavior is aggressive and vengeful. “Hop-Frog” is about a dwarf, who is a jester, named Hop-Frog. Trippetta, another jester, and he get disobliged by the king and his 7 ministers, but that soon becomes the death of the king and his 7 ministers.

    Close Reading on “The Cask of Amontillado” Upon reading the dark, twisted comedy of “The Cask of Amontillado”, the view point of the Montresor can be characterize as an unreasoning, satanic murderer. He presents us with an unclear understanding of his actions, and his trickery of good and use of Fortunato which by the way indicates the care with which he will plan Fortunato’s death. However, close observation demonstrates the Montresor display of a perfect black sense of humor and satire, with which he amuses both himself and the reader as he leads Fortunato to his faith.…

    Flaws are an essential part of who people are and how they think. Flaws can’t be ignored and the best thing to do is understand what they are and embrace them. Narrators of stories are also flawed and inherently biased. No one can know and see everything, which leaves the reader without knowledge. A narrator’s flaws will flaw the perspective of the reader, leading to a less complete, or less understood story.…

    I think that "The Cask Of Amontillado" is believable because it seems like Montresor is fed up with Fortunato. Poe also leads us to believe that Fortunato is foolish enough to follow Montresor into the dark catacombs to get to the amontillado that he is an expert on. The story is a dark tale of a presumably insane man who suffers from, according to him, "the thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could"(75). Montresor has never told us exactly what Fortunato had done to him to make him so frustrated. We can only assume that it had to be many things that added up over a period of time.…

    In “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe, the main character named Montresor is set out for revenge. Montresor’s only concern is to get revenge on the man who has wronged him named Fortuanto. Montresor never states why Fortunato deserves to be punished. The only statement Montresor makes is that Fortunato “causes him a thousand injuries” until “venturing upon insult.” (Poe, Online) Montresor plans to take out his revenge by burying Fortunato alive. Montresor carries out each detail while he smiles at his victim. Montresor doesn’t smile at the thought of Fortunato’s “immolation” but because of viciousness. (Sweet Jr. Online) Montresor smiles because he believes the sacrifice of Fortunato will bring him a great reward. Fortunato is ironically the “mirror self” of Montresor (Sweet Jr. Online). Montresor’s desire to bury Fortunato alive “paints the psychological portrait of repression” (Sweet Jr. Online). The burial of Fortunato represses Montresor’s evil nature and puts him at peace. In “The Cask of Amontillado,” Edgar Allan Poe uses irony to develop his theme of seeking salvation through repression.…

    Normal cells undergo cell division in an orderly process known as the cell cycle. In this process, normal cells send chemical signals to pass between neighboring cells. This keeps the rate of cell division equal to the rate of cell death. Cancer cells break free from normal constraints and follows it’s own pattern of cell division. Cancer cells divide much more often than normal cells which produces a mass of cells, also called a tumor.…

    Edgar Allen Poe’s “The cask of Amontillado” is a sinister tale of revenge narrated by a character named Montresor. The setting takes place in an underground tomb in Italy during carnival season. In this story, Montresor too plays the role of main character. I chose to analyze him because his character traits are ones that I can relate to. In addition to the character traits being identifiable, these character traits also play a big role throughout the story. Montresor’s vengefulness, cleverness, and confidence assist him in the murder of his friend.…
