What Is The Effect Of Montresor's Revenge On Fortunato

Montresor had his revenge on Fortunato planned out from the beginning. He knew when, where, and how to do it and didn’t back down. Line 23 states that Montresor wore a black silk mask and a roquelaire, he wore the costume as a disguise so no one would see him run off with Fortunato. “Thus speaking, Fortunato possessed himself of my arm; and putting on a mask of black silk and drawing a roquelaire closely about my person, I suffered him to hurry me to my palazzo.”. Montresor told his servants not to stir from the house so that he wouldn’t have any witnesses while he committed his mischievous plan. Line 24 “ I had told them that I should not return until the morning, and had given them explicit orders not to stir from the house. These orders were sufficient, I well knew, to insure their disappearance, one and all, as soon as my back was turned.”. Montresor was extremely manipulative.
