He kills the man with his own wariness. Montresor’s twisted sense of honesty and justice makes him even more dangerous, which allows Montresor to misbehave that no normal human being would. Again, as stated at the beginning of this paper, a man with a twisted mind is dangerous but if he is also intellect he is even more dangerous. With Montresor being intellect it gives him a better strategy for his revenge on Fortunato. His words tell how intellect he is “At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitively settled- but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk.
Revenge is a scary thing! Take Edgar Allen Poe’s ‘The Cask of Amontiado’ for example. In the story, Montresor, a cynical, yet organized man, seeks revenge upon Fortunado, an arrogant wine enthusiast, because, before the story started, Fortunado insulted him. Apparently, the insult was so harsh that it drove Montresor to homicide, because he devised an intricate plan to exterminate Fortunado in the harshest way possible. Due to the fact that Montresor is cunning, vengeful, and a good talker, he is able to successfully murder Fortunado without getting caught.
Odysseus immediately thinks of a genius plan. He gets the giant extremely drunk and when asked what his name is, he tells Polyphemus that it is “Nobody.” At first this is confusing and the reader may question Odysseus’s motive, however, it turns out he was preparing for when the Cyclopes called for help. He called to his neighbors saying, “Nobody’s killing me now by fraud and not by force!” (9. 456) His neighbors did not come to help him, since they didn’t think he was in any danger. Despite his impressive actions, Odysseus also shows ignorance and a cowardly side.
The murder was driven by lust for the queen and also a desire for power, two factors which remain with the king until the final moments in the play. “Mine crown, mine own ambition and my queen. Can one be pardon’d and retain the offence?” Claudius’ deceiving nature is central to the plot of the play, and is the catalyst for the betrayal of many other characters, such as Polonius, Hamlet and Laertes. Hamlet himself is not immune to corruption, and he himself deceives those around him in his actions and in his words. Following the revelation from the Ghost, Hamlet assumes an “antic disposition”, in order to distract those surrounding him from his suspicious behaviour.
It is this pride that constantly rejects Montresors’ pleas for returning back. AS mentioned before we don’t know where the story would have gone had he accepted the request of turning back, but it leads us with evidence of the type of character Fortunato is. One can only imagine just how constantly he berates Montresor, and you now have an idea into why Poe made it clear not to specify the insult that enraged
Using your essay in response to the unit's writing prompt, complete the following steps to improve your essay. Introduction Brutus is a betrayer, even though he says some things to people sometimes he turns around a says the complete opposite to others. Therefore, one example of this statement is when he always looked out for the best of Rome but when people said something that wasn’t so good about Rome, he will also go along with what they said even though he loved Rome.

Fortunato was drunk and Montresor led him to his catacombs claiming that he thinks he has a cask of Amontillado, but needs an expert to taste it. To get Fortunato to go, he says “I’m on my way to Luchesi. If anyone has a critical turn, it is he.” Fortunato convinced Montresor not to get Luchesi by saying “Luchesi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry.” Montresor also treats Fortunato like his friend by worrying about his cough in the catacombs, and he keeps him drunk so that he doesn’t think straight. Montresor is very smart and tricky. Lastly, Montressor is evil.
The main evidence that states that montresor felt remorse in the end is when he went to check the bell. According to the story, “The Cask of Amontillado”, Montresor initially doesn’t feel remorse until the job was completed. Montresor created a step by step plan to fulfil his revenge on Fortunato. Montresor was willing to go to any extent in order to fulfil his quench. He tries to act like he was concerned about Fortunato’s health.
Fortunato screams confusedly as Montresor builds the first layer of the wall. As the layers continue to rise, Fortunato is quite thinking its all a joke. When he realizes Montresor is not joking. Scared he screams “For the love of God, Montresor!” He fits the last stone into place and utters “May he rest in peace.” In conclusion, the narrator may not be reliable seeming as he never said how Fortunato betrayed him, so we can not really take sides or understand his anger completley, or if his actions are justified. I do know however that nothing feels better than revenge but do not killing is something I am capable of.
Montresor still told him like if he was a friend but he just wanted to go to the Amontillado. There Montresor had all his bricks to bury him alive. While Montresor was deliberately pretending to be Fortunato’s friend, he was also committing a treacherous act as a friend which is to betray him in the act. In the making of his cunning plan, he plays along the role of a loyal and trustworthy friend of Fortunato’s, who cares about his state of health, and who isn’t planning a concealed plan to murder him. So while he continues to play around he gives him some wine to make him feel better as he makes it to the cellar.
