PLOT DIAGRAM Exposition Inciting Incident Rising Action Climax Falling action Resolution Dénouement

EXPOSITION The begging of the story Intro of setting, characters, and sets time comprehensive description and explanation of an idea or theory Talks about how Montresor was wronged and he would get revenge. The exposition can very in many leanth and sizes. They aren’t just one event. They tell all the charters details, what there like, and what they look like.

INCITING INCIDENT where an event is struck upon the protagonist When the characters life changes from the normal to adapt to the story When Fortunato threatens Montresor

RISING ACTION the series of events that begin immediately after the exposition builds up to the climax. When they are walking to the nitre

CLIMAX the most intense Exciting or important point of the story Montresor ties Fortunato in the nitre

FALLING ACTION Part of a story after the climax But before the very end When Montresor puts up the brick wall in front of Fortunato.

RESOLUTION Central conflict has ended The wall is built to the ceiling.

DÉNOUEMENT The final part of a play, movie, or narrative The strands of the plot are drawn together Matters are explained or resolved. When Montresor says “ Against the new masonry I re-erected the old rampart of bones. For the half of a century no mortal has disturbed them.

SETTING the place or surroundings where something is positioned or where something takes place. The setting for The Cask of Amontillado is in Italy

PLOT ELEMENT The main events of a play, story, or movie One example would be when Montresor builds the wall to trap Fortunato.

POINT OF VIEW, NARRATOR, AND VOICE Point of view 3 rd person limited- it is limited to one person’s thoughts and feelings, and follows that one person 3 rd person atomistic- tells every characters thoughts and feelings, and follows them 2 nd person- the narrator says you a lot 1 st person- the narrator tells the story through his eyes The Cask of Amontillado the theme is 3 rd person atomistic because it tells the side of both parties and uses names

THEME The lesson learned in the story The theme of The Cask of Amontillado is to treat others how you want to be treated.
