Having the story in first person made it so the audience would be able to know that Montressor’s evil emotion never changed throughout the story. Another reason would be to better demonstrate the…

In his book, How The Other Half Lives, Jacob Riis formulated a shocking exposé with the intentions of bettering the living conditions of the poor by showing the public a hidden side of society.
