Dark and Twisted: The Mind of Montresor While some may argue Montresor feels remorse for his deeds in “The Cask of Amontillado,” Edgar Allen Poe reveals a lack of remorse in Montresor with his usage of symbolism, irony, and foreshadowing to illuminate the twisted morals and warped inner thoughts of the character. In this story, the protagonist Montresor lures his friend Fortunato through the catacombs with the promise of a prized wine, the amontillado. At the end of the catacombs, instead of finding

Remorse, the feeling of deep guilt and regret for the commitment of a crime or atrocity, is a major element in classical Greek tragedies. The resulting anguish that the character feels enhances the magnitude of the catastrophe, as the atrocity is transformed into a powerful emotion bringing it to a relatable level. In Sophocles’s Oedipus Rex, retold by John Bennett and Moira Kerr, and Antigone translated by E.F. Watling, the reader witnesses how different aspects of each play contribute towards the

“Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.” This quote by William Shakespeare certainly holds true to author Liam O’Flaherty, who had defiantly achieved greatness. Irish author Liam O’Flaherty was born August 28, 1897, on a small island off the coast of Ireland.

I didn’t feel much remorse for what I’d done... I had never been able to truly feel remorse for anything” (Camus 100).
