    In my opinion‚ in Edgar Allan Poe’s story “The Cask of Amontillado” Montresor’s actions cannot be justified in any way‚ first of all Montresor deceived Fortunato and rather than dueling the man or taking matters into the laws hands‚ he did not even give Fortunato a chance to contest.

Readers are never explicitly told what “insult” Fortunato has given to Montresor
