Cask Of Amontillado
The Cask of Amontillado
By: Edgar Allan Poe
1)How cohesive and organized is his writing?
Edgar Allan Poe writes with a unique grotesque inventive style. Poe also includes a superb plot construction which hooks the reader at the very start because he sets up a situation which the fills the reader with anticipation to see what develops. In the first line of the story The Cask Of Amontillado(1846), he says, "...but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge." The first three paragraphs develops Montresor's thinking and planning of what he intends to do to Fortunato. He informs the reader of many bits of information which develops Montresor's plan, but in reality, the …show more content…
Luchresi cannot distinguish Sherry from Amontillado and sporadic mentionings of his name. What also is obvious is this story is the constant repetition of "Amontillado" by Fortunato.
11)How rich is the texture of his sentence? Does his style abound in modifying
structures? Are these mainly free?
The texture of this story is basically made up of a series of prepositional phrases that can be found in his descriptive and narrative passages. There is also use of interrupters as in, "One evening during the supreme madness of..." What also can be found is some adverbial clauses and some other adverbial segments.
12)Are the words and structures commonly anticipated or freshly different?
Poe writes in a manner that is freshly different. He likes to build importance and emphasis, and explanation on certain aspects or ideas by making the reader pause, by using many double dashes and semicolons, before continuing on to the determining part of the sentence. One example is in line 77 where Montresor answers Fortunato's curiosity about the pipe. Poe starts a quote by Montresor, then separates it with a, "said I," then continues on with the quote with a semicolon instead of a comma. He wanted to add an extra long pause because he wanted to make it obvious that Montresor was changing the subject about where the pipe was. Poe does something …show more content…
There are many phrases often embellished with assorted modifiers as well as a number of adverbial clauses and relative clauses. Some of the nominal clauses tend to be more subordination than coordination.
14)What parts of speech are significannot
?
The parts of speech that are significannot include prepositions, concrete nouns, and adjectives such as, "often" and, "vivid." Imperatives can also be found in examples like, "come."
15)Anything else of note?
Edgar Allan Poe did an excellent job portraying in this story a timeless problem which everybody has confronted or will be confronted with, revenge. What Poe leaves to the imagination is what did Fortunato do to Montresor that has him so filled with anger and vengeance. From one line in the story, the reader can only guess the severity of the wrong. The line is 88 and it is Montresor talking to Fortunato and he said, "You are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, as once I was." Poe slips this line in subtly, but it is a line which leaves the reader guessing if it was Fortunato who took all that away from Montresor. Other than that, Poe wrote a gripping and addicting story in The Cask Of
