    The main character which is Montressor, kills Fortunato because of something he said to him so he wanted to get “revenge”. One of the quotes that best shows Montresor’s insanity is when he says, “I placed my hand upon the solid fabric of the catacombs, and felt satisfied. I reproached the wall. Ii replied to the yells of him who clamouered. I reechoed, I aided, I surpassed them in volume and in strength.…

    I could see several different themes in this story. The one that I will concentrate on is Revenge since that seems to be a recurring theme in a lot of Edger Allan Poe's writings. Montresor plots, plans, and executes the murder of Fortunato over injustices that were done to him many years earlier. The reader doesn't know if these injustices were real or imagined but they drove Montresor insane so that he felt that he had to get revenge. He felt that his family code had been dishonored.…

    (Jacoby)” Montresor manipulated Fortunato into thinking he was a friend of his and continued to go to great lengths to fulfill his deceitful plans of vengeance. Montresor is a very intriguing character who seems to have multiple personas throughout the short story. At first Montresor convinces the reader that he has the right to punish Fortunato for his wrong doing, but when Montresor lacks to explain exact details of these “injuries” it becomes clear to the reader that Montresor is an extremely unstable narrator, who just doesn’t seem to have a sense of reason or forgiveness. Montresor verbally, physically, and mentally tortured Fortunato with his lack of rational behavior that exempted him of all logical reasoning and justification of the dispute and miscommunication between the two characters. The outcome of Montresors revenge was extremely daunting; he exposed himself to be a very deceitful and a demented…

You are a man to be missed. For me it is no matter” (167).
