action so many scorned have attempted and what so many more have lusted after. Apt punishment for the offender‚ success without being discovered and fulfillment without regret are all elements for satisfactory vengeance. All were present in "The Cask of Amontillado." However‚ despite Montresor’s actions seeming to be perfect‚ he does not fulfill the criteria for flawless revenge.

The carnival models evil and temptation throughout the story. The characters get drawn into the carnival because of their desires. However‚ they pay the price when the carnival “gorges on fear and pain” (202). The carnival does not fulfill its purpose when nobody wants to give up everything for his or her one desire.
