How Does Montresor Kill Fortunato
In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado", the narrator can be described as brilliantly vengeful. Montresor can be seen in this way because of his well thought out plan to murder Fortunato. Knowing that Fortunato is a wine fanatic, he uses this to lure him into the catacombs where he is left for dead. Not only was his idea well thought out, Montresor managed to kill Fortunato without shedding a drop of blood. Throughout the story, Montresor continues to be cold and eventually shows no mercy in his actions.
Montresor's motivation behind the murder is briefly mentioned in the first sentence, where he begins, "THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge"
