Vengeance and murder infects the minds of Montresor and Fortunato upon an exchange of insult in Edgar Allan Poe’s "The Cask of Amontillado”. This is the story of pure revenge after Forturano disrespects Montresor. The story follows the characters meeting up at a carnival and eventually the disguised Montresor lures Fortunato into the catacombs of his home by convincing him that he acquired something that could pass for Amontillado, a light Spanish sherry. Fortunato grows eager to taste this wine and to determine for Montresor whether or not it is truly Amontillado. He leads him back to the catacombs of his home and carries out his plot to bury him alive.

Edgar Allan Poe’s, “The Cask of Amontillado” (1846) is narrated by Montressor. He is a gothic narrator, as his motives are associated with revenge and mental instability. In fact, the story opens with Montressor’s description of revenge of his friend Fortunato, who supposedly “insulted” him, and he lures Fortunato to his family’s catacombs for his death.

Throughout the book Lee shows us that social inequalities and racism towards people of color and poor folks was very frequent in Maycomb. Lee uses the Tom Robinson’s trial, the Ewells and the Cunninghams to show how people of color were highly treated less than compared to white people, but even among White people there was prejudice. This went from schools all the way to the justice system set in Maycomb.

Our protagonist, Montresor, has a deep vilification towards Fortunato who is an all-around disgusting individual that has scorned Montresor so heinously in times past as to warrant extreme and extensive punishment in one massive vendetta. Montressor, who invites a drunken Fortunato to his home, relies on cunning deception to exact his revenge. Using Fortunato's love of wine, Montresor is able to lure him into a dank cellar with the promise of a rare Amontillado keg. Excited by such wonderful news, Fortunato drinks more alcohol the whole way down in order to suppress his growing sickness in the damp environment which becomes more intensive the further they descend. Montresor's fake concern only spurs Fortunato further until they enter the isolated chamber.

Maintaining dialogue with Fortunato the entire time, Montresor slowly seals up the opening with rocks in a frightened and elated haste. Montressor then expresses relief before continuing his life regularly. (1.

Theses motivations were also Fortunato’s weaknesses.
