Character Analysis of Montresor in “The Cask of Amontillado” “The Cask of Amontillado” is written by Edgar Allen Poe. Poe is famous for his Gothic fiction, and this story is a perfect example of it. Montresor who is the main protagonist in the story, demonstrates the dark and ugly side of human nature. His personality and motives are equivalent to a super villain in a story. “The Cask of Amontillado” revolves around how Montresor seeks revenge on his “once a friend, now an enemy” Fortunato. He…

I believe that princes punishment is appropriate because he killed Tybalt like the law would, he was trying to avoid fighting, and he listened to the rules that the Prince made. With the fight of Tybalt and…

symbols of pride and revenge. His family crest is a human foot crushing a serpent whose fangs are imbedded in it’s heal. The serpent represents Fortunato’s insults and the foot crushing it represents Montresor’s act of vengeance. His family motto “nemo me impune lacessit” basically means that no one shall harm me without being punished. Montresor reflects on his family having a history of taking revenge on every insult. This poisons him with pride so much that you wonder if the punishment is…

The Sea is packed with adventure and peril. The excitement starts in the first few chapters, and continues through the entirety of the book. As the characters of Professor Aronnax, his servant by the name of Conseil, Ned Land the harpooner, and Captain Nemo traverse the seas, the book may appear childish, not something with deeper meaning or of literary merit. The fact is, the author, Jules Verne, wrote 20,000 Leagues Under The Seas with cultural ideals and important themes embedded in the…

Psalm 97:10 “You who love the LORD, hate evil! He protects the lives of his godly people and rescues them from the power of the wicked.” He hopes that he will…

These are some of the crazy ideas we have. The sea is a deadly place that threatens human lives. Part of the reason we have not explored parts of it is because of the frigid temperatures and high pressures. In the play “Into the Deep”, Captain Nemo's first mate dies by being pulled over by a squid, though this is unlikely to happen, we…
