Decent Essays
When perusers are perusing about Montresor, will see well off man. He’s known for great things in the community. The confirmation in the content is that Montresor is inconsistent. In the beginning of the story he have vindicate from Fortunato.

As reading this, well the story is an interpretation of an old letter written in Italian to somebody or I can state that the paper was found after Montresor's demise. Montresor must be truly old when he composed this letter.

    The story begins with the narrator, Montresor, expressing his desire to revenge himself upon Fortunato for a “thousand injuries” (Poe 714), and this immediately gives the reader the impression that the narrator is at least slightly mentally unhinged. The scene is set during a carnival in a time period some fifty years prior to Montresor’s current retelling, which applies to Romanticism as the setting is somewhat obscure and the time is not current. The fact that Montresor buries Fortunato alive is extremely shocking to the reader, as is Montresor’s apparent cold-heartedness and his unapologetic manner. Montresor’s actions, although premeditated, seem dominated by his emotions of hatred toward his victim, and not by any amount of logic or…

    Edgar Allen Poe is famous for his poems and short stories; particularly his dark, mysterious horror stories. What makes his stories so chilling, captivating, and powerful is his technique of using irony.

Poe emphasizes on three different types of irony in this story to heighten the reader’s engagement: verbal, dramatic, and situational irony. Beginning with verbal irony, it is clear throughout the story that Poe utilizes this irony to communicate one facet, but mean another.…

    (Jacoby)” Montresor manipulated Fortunato into thinking he was a friend of his and continued to go to great lengths to fulfill his deceitful plans of vengeance. Montresor is a very intriguing character who seems to have multiple personas throughout the short story. At first Montresor convinces the reader that he has the right to punish Fortunato for his wrong doing, but when Montresor lacks to explain exact details of these “injuries” it becomes clear to the reader that Montresor is an extremely unstable narrator, who just doesn’t seem to have a sense of reason or forgiveness. Montresor verbally, physically, and mentally tortured Fortunato with his lack of rational behavior that exempted him of all logical reasoning and justification of the dispute and miscommunication between the two characters. The outcome of Montresors revenge was extremely daunting; he exposed himself to be a very deceitful and a demented…

    Arthur’s tombstone read: “Hic iacet Arthurus, rex quondam rexque futures”, or in modern English, “Here lies Arthur, King once, King to be”. The story of King Arthur was originally written by Geoffrey and then recreated by the French Sir Thomas Malory. The story recounts a tragedy of a king losing his queen and in the end his kingdom. Arthur, a rather prominent figure in the history of legendary Britain is still deemed a symbol of patriotism and heroic deeds for today’s Englishmen, so that the passing of Arthur and his life, if he ever really existed, is equally momentous as depicted in both works of Sir Thomas Malory and Lord Tennyson.…
