Each of these completely describe Montresor to a core. Montresor was completely determined to get revenge on Fortunato. Montresor went down into the catacombs and placed everything

Feeling sorry for someone‚ but not agreeing with them. As humans we have all felt this feeling at least once in our lifetime.
