31 The noise of the carnival prevented anyone from hearing cries for help from Fortunato. Montresor’s home was free of his servants due to the carnival. The costumes at the carnival allowed them to be seen together without being recognized by others as being seen together. The drunkenness at the carnival made it easier for Fortunato to be persuaded.

33 mood is a literary element that evokes certain feelings or vibes in readers through words and descriptions. Usually, mood is referred to as the atmosphere of a literary piece, as it creates an emotional situation that surrounds the readers.

The threatening mood can be felt in Montresor’s words early in the story: “I continued as was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation.” That he can smile at his enemy while imagining his death sets up a mood, or feeling, of something dark or evil hidden beneath the surface.
