    as a joke. Being Fortunato you would never think that your friend Montresor who cares about his friend to taste wine at his vaults and then kill you. Certainly, Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of the Amontillado” uses irony, because Montresor pretends to care about his friend Fortunato, Montresor wants revenge on Fortunato for making fun of him, and Montresor wants Fortunato to taste his wine Amontillado at his vaults.
