The Cask of Amontillado A Lesson of Revenge Using Foreshadowing and Irony

Who is Poe? He’s considered to be the father of the short story horror tale. Used a variety of literary techniques. Fresh and thoughtful storylines created an effect of sheer horror.

Cask of Amontillado Published in Poe was known for The Raven (1844) and several other short stories. His early stories were argued over by critics who found them brilliant and disturbing, and their author perplexing and immoral.

Plot Summary Takes place during the Carnival season. Montresor carries an unexplained grudge against Fortunato. He leads a drunken Fortunato through a series of chambers (catacombs) under his home with the promise of a taste of Amontillado. When the two reach the last chamber, Montresor chains Fortunato to the wall, seals him in, and leaves him to die.

Carnival Carnival - From Dec 26 to Ash Wednesday (Mardi Gras in the U.S.). Everyone is partying, singing, dancing, gambling, and playing games in excess. People wear costumes so they can party incognito (no one recognizes who they really are).

Casks Wooden barrels where wine is aged and stored. This is what the Amontillado is stored in.

Catacombs The catacombs were underground burial sites that were either simple graves marked to preserve the memory of a Christian martyr or to mark the burial vaults of noble families.

Criticism Poe was criticized for daring to examine a crime with no apparent motive, and a murderer with no apparent remorse. For one hundred and fifty years, these themes have continued to challenge readers, who are attracted and repulsed by Poe's creation.
