Why Is Fortunato Wrong

Fortunato has wronged Montresor too many times. Montresor decides to get his revenge and kill Fortunato by using Fortunato’s knowledge of wine. Montresor then sees a drunk Fortunato at a carnival and invites him to his house to see his barrel. When they arrive, they go into the catacombs and Montresor urges Fortunato into a smaller space. He is drunk and confused as Montresor chains him to the area. Montresor then begins to build a wall at the entrance of the small area, and Fortunato sobers up quickly and screams for his life. Suddenly, everything goes silent and in hopes of a response from Fortunato, he throws a torch in the last open area. Montresor's heart grows sick as he builds the rest of the wall. I think this story is the best out
of the 4 short stories we read. For me, it was the most interesting one out of the four. The mood of the book was very suspenseful and it always had me wondering what was going to come next. The characters were well written and I could really picture Montresor’s insanity and Fortunato’s worry. I also liked how Edgar Allan Poe paid attention to detail in the story. He really knew how to give the reader goosebumps. The book was intense from start to finish and it never had me bored.
