Montresor murders him because of some unnamed injustice he has suffered. Montresor plans to exact his revenge in a meticulous way, so that he cannot ever be blamed for the murder. During the Carnivale season, Montresor approaches Fortunato and tells him he has a wine at home that he says can pass for a expensive wine called Amontillado, and wants Fortunato to confirm if it is Amontillado or not. Fortunato, a known wine lover, is eager to go with Montresor to try the expensive wine. Montresor explains that he has put the bottle of Amontillado in his family’s catacombs with all of the remains of his ancestors.
Now, by the stock and honor of my kin, To strike him dead I hold it not a sin.” (Allen et al. 963) Not only is Tybalt hot-headed and confrontational, his motive is to murder Romeo. Although Tybalt claims his murderous anger stems from Romeo’s bold entrance into the Capulet celebration, it simply does not. Even Tybalt’s uncle, Capulet, is not bothered by Romeo’s presence at the party. According to Kirby Farrell’s “Love, Death, and Patriarch in Romeo and Juliet,” Tybalt “.
There is no supernatural tint in TCOA at all. In TCOA, Montresor reflected nothing but satisfaction throughout the entire plotting and carrying out of his murderous revenge; however, in TBC, the narrator was racked with guilt over his behavior in the early stages of his lunacy. In fact, until he killed his wife (who was ever loving and patient - as he once was) he alluded to his guilt over and over again. It was as if killing his wife was like killing any remaining vestige of conscience within himself. In TCOA, there is some funny and ironic taunts that Montresor presented Fortunado with such as one of the most memorable lines of the story, given by Montresor in response to Fortunato saying, "I will not die of a cough."
The Cask of Amontillado I like this story because how Montresor planned his revenge before taking actions and how he used Fortunate weaknesses to make the plan successful. I also like how Montresor’s motto connected to this story and to his actions. It explains everything. The thing that I didn’t like about the story is how Montresor got his revenge. He went too far.
He is aware of the difference between what is right and what is wrong, and has a conscience, often feeling guilty from his acts. Nevertheless it is not long before Macbeth begins to commit crimes on innocent characters; being cold-hearted enough to murder without very much personal gain; making his
Montresor tells him that the Amontillado is stored in his catacombs, and intoxicates him further by offering him wine on the way down. By the time they reach the catacombs, Fortunato is very drunk and Montresor takes advantage of this fact by chaining him to a niche in the wall. He then proceeds to block up the entrance to the niche and essentially by burying him alive, gets his revenge on Fortunato. Montresor ends the story by revealing that it has been fifty years since the murder, and his remains have stayed untouched for the entire time (Poe 130-136). “The Cask of Amontillado” is regarded as a dark and mysterious story, because of Poe’s effective use of irony.
Fortunato was drunk and Montresor led him to his catacombs claiming that he thinks he has a cask of Amontillado, but needs an expert to taste it. To get Fortunato to go, he says “I’m on my way to Luchesi. If anyone has a critical turn, it is he.” Fortunato convinced Montresor not to get Luchesi by saying “Luchesi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry.” Montresor also treats Fortunato like his friend by worrying about his cough in the catacombs, and he keeps him drunk so that he doesn’t think straight. Montresor is very smart and tricky. Lastly, Montressor is evil.
He knows that if Doyle stays around any longer that things could become worse for the Wheatley’s. This proves knows right from wrong and is learning about Frank’s predicament. Karl is the type of person that protects the people he loves, he cherishes Frank and Linda, even with a disability he is grateful for their hospitality; but Doyle is an obstacle that Karl must overcome so that Frank and Linda can live a better life. Doyle dies by the hands of Karl, he kills him because he witnessed the evil that Doyle displayed, “I aim to kill you” (Thornton). Therefore, the storyline’s progression supports Karl’s ability to grow and learn as a human being.
Montresor is angry at Fortunato for an insult and he plots to murder his “friend” during a carnival while Fortunato is drunk. Stephen King’s “Dolan’s Cadillac” takes place in modern time and is about a man named Robinson taking revenge on Dolan for murdering his wife. Both main characters are planning on getting
Once the tragic hero has made a decision he or she sticks to it and does not waiver. Brutus is no exception to this trait. Soon after the murder of Caesar, Brutus takes full responsibility of his actions: “Do so, and let no man abide this deed / But we the doers” (3.1.103-104) Most murderers would flee the scene of the crime in an attempt to elude the consequences of their actions. The fear of what the people might do to him for killing Caesar does not stop Brutus from owning what he did. Brutus takes full responsibility for his actions, showing that he is fully committed to every aspect of this conspiracy, including possible negative responses from the people of Rome.
