Differences Between Montresor And Fortunato

Intro
Montresor & Fortunato Wine Co. has grown rapidly over the past year. Its success has far surpassed our expectations. But what should we expect? Two of the finest wine connoisseurs in all of Italy are running it! My dear friend Fortunato is the finest wine tester in all of Italy. Nobody can compare. With his extraordinary taste buds, and my business savvy; there is no question why Montresor & Fortunato Wine Co. has progressed so well. With all this business, we have more wine than ever before! The finest in all of Italy is sold here. With all this in mind, one pipe of sherry missing should be a mere nothing. With all the money, I’m bringing in, one pipe should do no harm. I deserve it! All Fortunato does is test the wine, he does not find …show more content…
By far our fastest seller.” It was only one pipe it should do no harm. Does he even know? Bah! He never checks the inventory, all is well. “I assure you my dear friend the last pipe has been sold.”. “Really? That was fast, the last shipment only came in a few weeks ago, did we miscount the Sherry?” Fortunato replied curiously. How far will he persist on this matter? Business is thriving, all is well. One pipe of sherry is nothing to investigate. Hundreds of pipes of Sherry come through this business, what makes this pipe suspicious? “Is there something wrong Fortunato?”, Fortunato sighs “Indeed, something is wrong. I saw man invading the wine the other night…” He saw me?! Impossible, nobody was around. He must have been seeing things. “I assure you my friend facility is safe; no soul could have trespassed our facility” “No! I saw a man last night. He must’ve stolen our Sherry! What foul soul would steal from Montresor & Fortunato Wine Co., the greatest of all wine distilleries!”. He is taking this too far, it was only one pipe of Sherry! It is a mere nothing to our business, we are thriving. Montresor & Fortunato Wine Co. is at its peak as we speak, nobody can touch us. This suspicion will pass I know it. If this were a real issue than I would feel guilt, and that has yet to …show more content…
Was it worth it to steal a pipe of Sherry? This is Fortunato’s business as well, not just mine. I should think of it as such. Does Fortunato put as much into this business as I do? No! he does not, guilt shall not best me. I am the engine to this company, he is a mere accessory for looks. None the less these thoughts will pass; Fortunato hasn’t mentioned the incident in a while. Everything will be fine, I’ll just order another pipe next time we get a shipment of Sherry. “My dear Fortunato, how are you doing on this finest of evening?” “Fine, I’ve just been thinking a lot lately about the business, and you…” replied Fortunato. He’s been thinking about me, what could this mean? “Thinking about me, have I done something to spark your interest lately?” Everything will be fine, he knows nothing, he does not have any evidence to support what I predict he may say. “It was you Montresor, I know of it now. You took the pipe of sherry.” Sighed Fortunato, “Your better than this, and you know it. But how can I forgive you for something like this? I can’t, that is the issue.” “My dear friend I assure you I am not the individual involved in this matter, you must be horribly mistaken.” He has caught me, how? There is no possible way he could’ve known it was me. He must be making arbitrary assumptions. Could he have found tracks?
