    Do you ever question your choices when it comes to matters of what is right and what is wrong? In Cask of Amontillado, the lines between what is right and what is wrong become blurred.

    Through his words and subsequent deeds we can also identify the trait of sadism in Montresor. “A wrong is redressed when retribution overtakes its redresser,” claims Montresor. He continues, “It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.” Montresor's aims are clear. Redress his perceived wrongs, punish the man who he feels wronged him, and make himself known to his offender as the one who has killed him. And while doing so, make him suffer in a way equal to the pain Montresor must have felt when insulted by Fortunato.…

    As Edgar Allen Poe described the use of colors in the Cask of Amontillado, he also shows details of the specific places. While Montresor is one of the few character involved in the story, another character, who is the one that eventually died at the end is Fortunato. The places Fortunato encounters with Montresor does included specific Gothic views. One of the places Edgar Allan Poe shares in the story would be the time both characters are in the catacombs. Catacombs are normally a place for many people in the medieval era to be buried.…

    In “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allen Poe and “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O'Connor. Both of these characters in the short stories share similar characteristics - Montresor and The Misfit. Montresor and The Misfit are considered ruthless and cold blooded murderers. They also think killing is necessary. Even though Montresor and The Misfit live in different era and lifestyle, the authors use vivid characters and compelling storyline to exhibit their motivation and the behavior of pride on how they get away with murder as well as having bizarre moral rectitude that allows them to kill people without remorse.…

    Due to the revenge that arises from jealousy and pride, the Montresor, the protagonist, is so deeply involved in his thoughts of revenge from Fortunato, he does not even state why he seeks out revenge and the motive behind it. Pride, jealousy and the concept of killing someone go back to the time when people first came around. In the article, by Renee, she states when thoughts of revenge are developed in a person’s mind, it causes him to go insane and there is no time for second thoughts (1). The very first sentence from the story is “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge,” this clearly depicts the major theme of the story, enrooted in Montresor’s mind (DiYanni…

    In thesis four by Cohen, he says, “…the monster threatens to destroy…individual members of society” (12). In paragraph one of the story, Montresor talks about killing the individual, Fortunato. Cohen also states that “…the monster seeks out its author…to bear witness to the fact that it could have been constructed Otherwise” (12). This relates to the story because in paragraph one Montresor says, “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.” From this sentence the reader understands that Fortunato had done many deeds that Montresor didn’t like and he dealt with it, but when Fortunato insulted him, he “vowed revenge.” If Fortunato had not insulted Montresor, he would not have gone out to seek revenge and kill…

    "The thousand injuries at the hands of Fortunato I had borne as best I could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge" (Poe, 173). Montresor is so convinced of the righteousness of his convictions that he "must not only punish but punish with impunity" (Poe, 173). Montresor also states how he must not fail to "make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong" (Poe, 173). Montresor's words prove how his prideful obsessions have deluded his mind enough to believe that Fortunato's wrongs justify his agonizing death. Furthermore, Montresor believes he should go unpunished for his…

    Montresor's Insanity

    • 854 Words
    • 4 Pages

    He easily gets angry and is very sensitive about other’s people opinion about him. He is vain and proud, as a result unable to stand an insult, which, to his mind, damages his reputation. Because of his vanity and pride, he treats a supposed insult, coming from Fortunato to him, as a serious hurt, although Fortunato does not even suspect, that Montresor can want revenge for something he has done. On the other hand, for Montresor, this murder is something quite natural. He says at the beginning of the story: “It is equally unrepressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him, who has done wrong” (p.1). Montresor admits that, in his opinion, his revenge is equally painful for Fortunato as the insult is for…

    Your character, Montresor appears to be the type that would hold a grudge and likely exaggerated the facts when he spoke about the "thousand injuries" that Fortunato had given him. He vowed revenge on Fortunato and premeditated his murder. His warm demeanor toward Fortunato, during the carnival scene at dusk, confused me and made me wonder if Fortunato had wronged him at all. I can only think that his claim of being insulted by Fortunato was only a figment of his imagination. Was Montresor delighted to see his victim only because Fortunato had been drinking or because he planned to murder him? I thought it was the latter because the setting of your tale abruptly changed from festive…
