Character Analysis: Monttresor And The Montresor
In a dimmed room stood 6 wooden chairs, all with worn out padding, brown from coffee stains, chained to wall behind them at the legs, so they couldnt used to thrown. On the opposite side of the room sat 2 men, both looking down to avoid eye contact, sitting in the worn out, brown, padded-less chairs, with an acrid smell swarming in the air

Security Guard: Montresor, do we have a Montresor?

Montresor: We have a Montresor, but do we have an angry security guard?

As the security guard looked up at the puny Montresor, he took him by the back and pushed him aggressively into the interrogation room.

Montresor: Wow, looks like someone has an acute temper

Interrogator: Take a seat

Montresor: Very well, may we begin?

Interrogator: I have been

The Interrogator stands up and yells with grand gesticulations.

Interrogator: (Yelling) You Sit now! Did I say we were finished? I am the one who is presiding here, we are finished when I say we are finished.

Montresor with a smirk walked back proudly and sat down with his arms crossed, as the two stared at each other

Montresor: What are you waiting for, let's go

Interrogator: Why were there no workers at the residence of yours last friday,

Montresor: It's carnival season, they deserve the night off

Interrogator: And why was it, that both thou and Fortunato were not seen nearing the end of the carnival?

Montresor: I was besotted, needed some rest, and who knows with Fortunato, and where the mind of an imbecile like him may have guided him to, or what it might have made him say to make a joke about someone-

Interrogator: I thought you didn't know the man very well, please continue

Montresor: Continue what, I didn't say anything?

Interrogator: You just spoke about Fortunato being an imbecile, why did you not explain him earlier, is he ineffable? Or perhaps do you not like him, why is he an imbecile?

Montresor: Imbecile, what are you talking about? I would never say that, I think you beginning to imagine things, are you

    The fact that Montresor is angry shows the reader that he has a different attitude and will retaliate. "THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge"(P.1,Li.2-4). It is pretty easy to see that Montresor is sick of the little jives and is ready for action. This will now end all the bullying and Montresor will strike back with revenge.…

    To begin with, Montresor is an unreliable narrator. I think this because in the beginning of the story,(174) Montresor does not give any background or evidence of being insulted by Fortunato. The texts says, “ The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as best I could...” Usually, when you are blaming someone that has done wrong to you, you would give a background, or evidence that they are in the wrong. My reason number two is that Montresor exaggerates his feelings and actions in the story, which is also why I believe he is bragging about his crime. “There were no attendants at home; they had absconded to make merry in honor of the time...I well knew, to ensure their immediate disappearance, one and all, as soon as my back was turned.” (176) Here is a perfect example of Montresor's bragging. He's basically saying that, he the best of the best, the head chief, and everyone knows when he says to do something, they do it.…

    His emotional response was of controlled anger. Montresor may have had anger but it was hidden anger. Montresor didn’t show it in anyway to hint that he had loathing boiling inside him. He expressed this by saying, “ The thousand injuries of Fortunado I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed my revenge”. Montresor was a very solemn man, for he would not show his greatest anger, but he will avenge what caused it. This is stated when he said, “You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat. At length I would…

    it may be possible that the reason he waited that long to tell anyone was for his own safety, but if that is true, there is no reason he should ever tell anyone. while he tells the story, montresor does not inflate the insults that fortunato causes nor does he omit his own lessor misdeeds. montresor does not try to make himself look better because he is not ashamed by his actions. when his story is finished, montresor says a phrase in latin which translates to “rest in peace.” this acts as a final stab at fortunato and shows that montresor shows no remorse for his past actions.…

    Still, it also is a complex situation open to individual interpretation. Montresor plan of murder is motivated by a number of insults which are never mention in the story. However, the constantly indication of his family to be involved on the conflict may well take the reader to believe on a possible payback for some past encounter between families of society and power. The narrator’s tone when describing Fortunato, is a held feeling of likely envy, “You are rich, respected, admired, beloved, you are happy, as once I was.” Montresor sees on Fortunato, what he proclaims had once and misses at the moment. Therefore, Montresor reliability is to be…

    I think Montresor is an unreliable narrator as he is clearly mentally unstable who ends up murdering his friend over an insult. On the point that he has killed his friend, for that reason I wouldn't have confidence in him as he is not trustworthy. Furthermore, there is no evidence that indicates that Fortunato had insulted or do anything of great harm to Montresor. Therefore, Montresor, is a perfect example of an unreliable narrator whose actions reflects the way that his madness or character influences what he tells us.…
