In the short story “ The Cask of Amontillado”, by Edgar Allen Poe creates a mood of suspense and horror. From the details to actions and words the suspense he creates from the symbolism and irony between the two characters, Montresor and Fortunado. The mood swings that Poe has inflicted in the story shows a deep meaning. The irony and symbolism makes us the readers wonder why he made so much horror. Also the effect that he has on us the reader.
First, the imagery in this short story is amazingly described, but it’s cruel and horrid. Poe shows only one point of view which is Montresor. How the night is described is really trying to show the madness of Montresor’s mind. It’s contrasting the fun of the night as the night goes on the murder
