Fortunato, being the wine finatic that he is, agrees to go to Montresor’s home to see the Amontillado that Montresor speaks of. On the journey to the end of the vault where the wine is, Montresor continues to provide Fortunato with wine, claiming that it will soothe the cough that Fortunato has accrued. By the time they reach the vault with the “Amontillado”, Fortunato is too drunk to realize what is happening to him. Montresor chains him to the wall and begins to build a wall around him, trapping Fortunato inside. This is the revenge that he had planned to take out on Fortunato, however, when Fortunato started to sober up and realized what was happening he attempted to ask if what was happening was a joke, and with no answer, he ultimately became silent. Montresor tried to get satisfaction out of his suffering, but with Fortunato being silent, he was unable to feed off what he thought was the best revenge, hearing Fortunato suffer. He ultimately did get the revenge on Fortunato, even though it was not as satisfactory as he would have liked it to
