and the conflict go along side by side. Montresor taught us a countless lesson, not to want revenge or things will go bad. Montresor gave us the theme and showed up that revenge isn’t worth it. We all would like to know why he wants revenge. Will we ever know? We all have our guesses, but we probably won’t ever really know why. Why did he do this was this always in his mind? Montresor will he do it to another person. Is it just to Fortunato? Montresor did not think first. The theme is not to want
would someone go to the extent to kill someone because he has been insulted by that person a thousand times? Why would he leave Fortunato in the catacombs? Why did Montresor get away with such a crime? That is why I chose for my character analysis to be about Montresor a vengeful, sneaky, and guilty character who seeks revenge on Fortunato by killing him. The first characteristic that represented Montresor most was that he was vengeful. He seeked revenge on Fortunato because he had insulted him a thousand
really such a thing as “the perfect crime?” In Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado” there is strong evidence that the main character, Montresor, has in fact committed the perfect crime. This is a dark tale of an insane man who suffers from “the thousand injuries of Fortunato.” (226) Poe manages to create a narrator who is able to manipulate and kill another man while keeping a very calm voice explaining to the audience how perfectly justified he was in committing these horrible acts. He
buried alive? Montresor is a person who doesn’t like Fortunato, so Montresor makes a complicated plan to kill Fortunato. Fortunato makes an easy target of himself because he was drunk when they buried him. Fortunato is not very smart because he fell for the trap that Montresor had for him and didn’t see it coming. He is also an alcoholic because that’s how he fell for the trap. Fortunato is an easy target because he fell for the trap that Montresor had for him. Montresor had invited Fortunato to a party
character, Montresor, taking revenge on Fortunato for years of insults. Fortunato allows himself to be persuaded to go with Montresor to his family’s catacombs to taste test an expensive wine. He is baited by the idea that his opinion wasn’t called upon first as Luchesi’s was. Fortunato wants to prove that he is an expert on fine wines and that he’s better than Luchesi. Fortunato is drunk enough that he can’t detect the sarcasm and intent in Montresor’s comments. This allows Fortunato to be lured
from the eyes of the “villain” gives the reader an understanding for the reasoning behind Montresor’s actions. Doing this, Poe creates a story that has a grip to it that sets it apart and would have otherwise lacked. Poe introduces the reader to Montresor for the first time here, “You, who know so well the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat.” (Poe 635) Immediately, Poe forms a connection between the audience and the narrator. The connection presented in
In this story of my character Fortunato was a stupid and did not think very well person. My first paragraph will be about how he start at the beginning. Then my second paragraph will be how he was going to be friends with a another person. The third will be about him dying in a catacomb with wine cellars and dead people. That will be my story for Fortunato who is my character Fortunato was a stupid well being who was drunk all the time. He would drink all the time until he passes out. But before
Amontillado”, the main character, Montresor, is insane as he is narrating the story. According to Psychology Today, the qualifications to be considered sane are: the ability to have normal relationships and interactions with others and knowing it is not okay to murder others, having feelings of guilt and remorse, and not being a danger to one’s self or other people. Montresor lacks all of these certain qualifications within the story. The reader can see that Montresor doesn’t have the ability to have
“He did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation,” (Montresor page 57.) While looking at the two pieces of literature: “The Cask of Amontillado,” and “The most Dangerous Game,” we cannot help but wonder who the most evil villain was. Both are cold blooded and have killed people using different ways. According to dictionary.com, being evil means you have a profound immorality, wickedness, and depravity, epically when regarded as a supernatural force. We then have to choose
Edgar Allen Poe. Poe composed a dark and cruel tale of Montresor; a sinister man, full of rage and hate, who cleverly and deceitfully murders Fortunato in a grotesque manner. Montresor states that he kills Fortunato over an insult however; the underlying reason behind Montresor’s actions and characteristics are due to the fact he is a sociopath; a person who lacks a social conscience and a sense of moral responsibility. A man who is willing to kill his friend of an insult is clearly not in good mental
