“Cask…” Djs “A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt to him who has done the wrong”(Poe 5 ). In this passage the narrator explains how to maximize revenge. The diction level is high/formal which indirectly characterizes our narrator as intelligent/educated. The tone is authoritative/threatening/ aggressive and creates a mood that is creepy. This plan helps to create the theme: two wrongs do make a right as the narrator gets away with his plan. A well-thought- out plan can bring long-term satisfation. A sociopathic killer feels no remorse for murder.
