And it gives everything a dark future its like he does not believe in the good things around him but only the bad. Always has something bad to say, nothing happy. Maybe its because he had a rough childhood.

"THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge." It remind of when someone makes a pun towards your broken body part and that little bit of you wants you to let them know how it feels because of them making fun of you. It also reminds of of always wanting to get back at someone especially after they do something. "A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser."
