Response Letter To Montresor

Improved Essays
I wasn't really listening to Montresor, but then he started telling me about the exquisite Amontillado wine. I LOVE wine! I drink everyday and never miss an opportunity to drink some more. Some people call me an alcoholic but I just love it so much! Maybe it is a midlife crisis, or maybe not. Truthfully when I drink I get a little crazy and blurt out stuff I don't even mean half the time. People sometimes refer to me as a horse on steroids, but I can't help myself. I was already half drunk when I came to Montresor’s, so when he offered for me the Amontillado, how could I resist. I almost lost it when he said maybe Luchresi wouldn't mind tasting it if I was busy. As if I would ever pass up the opportunity of drinking an Amontillado! “Its down in the vaults,” he said, like …show more content…
He is after all a very smart,ugly, 2 faced voldemort. In less then seconds I couldn't move and I realized what this little mean, mean boy had in mind. I started screaming and cursing at him calling him every name in the book. “You are worse than cow manure, and yeah those tights did make your butt look fat!” I said a lot of horrible things, and I probably shouldn’t have because, well you know he was kind of killing me and being a little nice might have changed something. But at that moment i wasn’t just a horse on steroids oh no, I was an elephant on steroids! When he finished he just said some very insulting words for Harry Potter and I figured that I was Harry. In the last couple seconds of seeing the fire from the torch I realized my mistake and how mean I was to him. I didn't even really care about that too much, I just really hated him for not giving me the wine! I started hating him even more when I realized that Luchresi would get to drink it. That is ladies and gentlemen how I ended up here. 50 years later and people still don't know that Im here. Wanna know how i

    Dear J. Madison, I have the utmost respect for you, but something has been puzzling me lately, I simply cannot comprehend why you oppose the Connecticut Compromise so deeply. I despise that we are in an argument about the ways our government should work. The Constitution would not have been as grand as it is if not for you, however your Virginia Plan does not represent smaller states, such as my home in Connecticut, New Jersey, and many other states are in agreement. My idea is a compromise, which involves each state, it includes bicameral legislature, with one part proportional representation and the other half involving each state having one representative. I know you are a busy man, but I hope that you will consider voting for the good of…

    Right now in America, everything the ladies did should rotate around the men. Ladies were instructed to if you don't mind to teach their young men, to deal with the men when they were developed, to exhort and reassure them, to surrender all that they had; these were the obligations of ladies, and this is what was taught to them from their early stages. Making it all they knew of life and this is all they needed.

    You see this clearly in the cask of Amontillado, as Fortunato was set on tasting the fabled Amontillado. During the whole story Fortunato was drinking alcohol making it easier and easier for Montresor to lure him to his death.

    The 1930’s were a particularly tumultuous time - with the Great Depression in full effect after beginning in 1929, and women becoming more active in advocating and fighting for their rights after winning the right to vote. John Steinbeck’s The Chrysanthemums was written in this time, dealing with then-current societal issues. The story focuses on Elisa, a woman who uses her “green thumb” to grow tall, strong, and beautiful chrysanthemum flowers. Steinbeck focuses on her bleak existence in an oppressive male environment, exemplified through her husband and a traveling tinker. It is clear that before Elisa’s interaction with the traveling man, she is a proud, strong, and subtly masculine character who takes pride in her work and feels that she…

    In the excerpt of a letter from Joseph Taper to what seems to be his former master, Joseph Long, Taper informs Long of how his life has changed after he escaped to Canada. His kids now go to school, his wife happy, and overall his life has become a good and pleasurable life, without any more kind of brutality. Probably the reason he even wrote this to begin with during the time of slavery was to simply brag his successful escape to his former master and of how much of a good life he is receiving in a “land of liberty” than with him. According to Taper’s letter, freedom seems to be having a good life, no violence or fear, and getting an education when he was referring to his son.…

    I believe that Harry Potter fulfills 9 out of 10 elements of the hero as presented by Otto Rank. Harry Potter's biological parents are James and Lily Potter so we can omit the assumption that his mother was a virgin with supernatural conception. In the last Harry Potter series, he was successful on defeating Lord Voldermort at the expense of his two father-figures, Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape. A father or a father figure has big influence on his son. Lord Voldermort in a way can be described as his negative father figure because he influenced him as such that molded him to what he is now.…

    Looking at Fortunato and his pride, Montresor sees this as his biggest weakness but when he views himself, his pride is his biggest strength. With pride being Fortunato’s weakness, Montresor uses this and begins to plan his revenge by creating an imaginary cask of Amontillado. He does this because he knows Fortunato will do almost anything just to get a taste of it. Montresor lies to him and says that he is getting Luchesi to taste the wine because he knows this will tick Fortunato off since if anyone should be tasting anything then it should be Fortunato. Fortunato’s pride leads him to believe that not a single person is a better wine taster other than him.…
