Gualtieri 1
The story tells the murder that is committed by a man named Montresor, who wanted revenge on Fortunato, a man who had insulted him several times and would not withstand another insult anymore. The narrator begins by telling us that Fortunato has hurt him; even worse, Fortunato has insulted him. The narrator must get revenge. The narrator mentions he’s found a barrel of a rare brandy called Amontillado, and in a very suspicious and intelligent attracts his victim, taking it more and more toward the catacombs. Therefore, a person who is too trusty can be easily led to his/her own demise and realizes about it too late.

Your health is precious. Your are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, as I once was. You are a man to be missed.” Fortunato then tells
Montresor not to worry: “The cough is a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I will not die of a cough.” To this reply, Montresor says, “True–true.”
According to Benton Richard P, in the text Poe 's 'The Cask ' and the 'white webwork which gleams “the Montresor’s emphasis on the presence of "nitre" on the walls and, ceilings of the underground galleries in the shape of "white webwork which gleams," and which deeper down "hangs like moss upon the vaults," allows Montresor to foment psychological terror in the mind of Fortunato while pretending a solicitude he does not feel for his enemy, thus creating a splendid irony”.
Edgar Allan Poe takes us on a trip into the mind of a mad man. The story begins with
Montressor 's vow of revenge, foreshadowing future actions. The foreshadowing of Fortunato 's death is the fact that all throughout the catacombs are the bones of other men who were chained and left for dead. Montresor smiles in Fortunato’s face as he is thinking about killing him.
