The Cask of Amontillado

Edgar Allen Poe did a fantastic job with creating such a mysterious short story. He is  nothing but a genius and will forever be a legacy. This story as all about pain and revenge. Montresor is doing the evil things, he plays this character that has a dark side, and even at the carnival he was said to be dressed in all black. Fortunato, who is the victim in this story seems to come off as a people person and with a lot of confidence and unlike Montresor he was wearing all bright colors at the carnival. Purposely Edgar Allen Poe dressed them the way they were supposed to play their role. The way Montresor went about seeking revenge to kill Fortunato was well planned out and he knew exactly what to say to lure Fortunato in his "web". In the story it says that Montresor's family motto is a serpent and that's exactly how he acts very sneaky, evil, silent and dangerous. Mr. Poe knew how to embrace his character's personality very well and he also had a lot of significant points in this piece that showed his marvelous writing skills. This story was very captivating because as a reader it kept me glued because I had no idea what was going to happen next! Great story.
