The Cask of Amontillado People do unspeakable actions when blinded by revenge. “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could‚ but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge” (Poe 1). In “the Cask of Amontillado” Edgar Allan Poe expresses characterization and irony to illustrate the theme of revenge. In the beginning of the story‚ Montresor elaborates about being insulted and every time he sees Fortunato‚ he acts as if they are good friends; when in the mind of

In O’Connor’s short story‚ The Misfit claims the lives
