The Cask Of Amontillado By Edgar Allen Poe

Edgar Allen Poe uses his dark and horrifying mood in his writing in The Cask of Amontillado to create the terrifying imagery he is portraying. Poe uses words to show us the dark, underground catacomb. He makes us feel quite disturbed and uneasy through out his piece of writing. For example, he's is "down upon the bones" which shows the truth behind the disturbance featured in this writing. He describes the catacombs greatly. He explains them by saying "insufferably damp" and uses different elements in painting a picture for reader This is no ordinary wine-cellar. Instead of organized rows of barrels and bottles, tight corridors and slimy walls invade the scene. Walking through the catacomb causes Fortunato to cough and it is so dark
