Question 3:
While walking in the catacombs and having a conversation, Montresor repeatedly uses reverse psychology to intrigue Fortunato’s interest in the Amontillado by invoking the name of Luchresi. Thus bribed with the promise of Amontillado and the idea that he is the only one who can help Montresor, …show more content…
When Montresor states “...in recognizing as that of the noble Fortunato,” I think, in fact, that he gained respect for Fortunato again (“noble”) and now feels guilty for killing him. When Montresor is having his last conversation with Fortunato, after the last sentence where he says “‘...for the love of God…’”, he thinks, “But to these words I hearkened in vain for a reply.

Poe uses this mood to gently and suspensefully build up to the climax, as we know from the beginning that Montresor intends to kill Fortunato, but we do not explicitly realize in what way that he plans to do it, “A moment more and I had fettered him to the granite,” by leaving him underground to
