The cask of amontillado is written by Edgar Allan Poe. This history is very dark.
In the cask of amontillado, Edgar Allan Poe explains the history of a man that cheats another man to kill it. This history happens during the carnival (they are disguised). First, the killer cheats another man: The killer leads another man to a warehouse to drink wine.In the warehouse the man gets drunk, and he falls sleep. When he sleep, the killer ties it to the wall and when he get up, the killer start to covering with bricks and cement these room. days later he dies.
This history is very terrifying, but very good.
This story talks about the revenge of Montresor to Fortunato. The Carnival Day Fortunato that was dressed as jester was drunk and Montresor taking advantage of the opportunity invited Fortunato to drink a good wine in his house. When they arrived to the house, Montresor and Fortunato went to de catacombs of the house where Montresor had planned to kill him. Montresor put Fortunato in a niche and started to built a wall for walling him. Fortunato scream and begged Montresor to leave out there, but the murdered finished to building the wall and left the catacombs. In the niche, Fortunato died some days after.
The story explains how Montresor kills Fortunato. It is a horror story. Montresor tricks Fortunato into drinking some wine. When he gets very drunk, Montresor puts some chains around his wrists and arms and starts to build a wall so that he gets locked in and dies from asphyxiation.
In this story montresor guides fortunato to a winehouse in the festival of carnival, then he leaves the drunk offender (fortunato) in a close habitacle and inmured him ( there the wordplay of the amontillado wine and the immured fortunato). When he is immured montresor talk with the victim about his revenge, about the reason of fortunato dead. Then slowly fortunatos dead alone, without feeding and suffering.
I want a possitive
In this case we can see that montresor, masked, kill fortunato leaving he in a winehouse and walling up he.
This occur in the carnival festival of venice and do it for revenge a past offense. Fortunato has cheated for follow montresor to his deathbed.
The main character makes a song about a revenge of Fortunato. The main character will laugh at Fortunato's face while he says: “ come let us go I’ve a cask of amontillado”. He chains his objective up a wall and builds a wall. Next to the wall he leaves a glass of wine that Fortnuato empties out when the main character is satisfied with his work.
