It’s ironic that his name is Fortunato because he receives the most unfortunate surprise of all. Fortunato in Italian means lucky, but in this story, it just so happens to mean the exact opposite concluding much irony. His costume he has on for the carnival event makes Fortunato’s death a bit more pitiful. He his described to look something like a clown and is wearing a jingle bell hat on his head. Keep in mind, Fortunato is already drunk when Montresor takes him into the catacombs making his plan to kill him that much easier. Fortunato is now all the more eager to follow, less frightened, somewhat murky, and doesn't exactly get what is happening at first. So despite the fact that the festival is much unexpected for the morbid story to unfold at, it goes very much in Montresor's favor for everyone to be occupied celebrating while he takes care of Fortunato. Allowing Montresor to not get caught while bringing Fortunato to his death because there are no witnesses. The irony in the story compresses the mischievous route in which the relationship amongst Montresor and Fortunato is introduced by Poe. Montresor waiting fifty years to come forward with this dark secret is insane perhaps like Poe. He uses dark cleverness in Montresor's discussions with Fortunato, in his indirect suggestion at Fortunato's up and coming homicide, and makes a feeling of irony around death. What at last turns out as its genuine accomplishment
