Ironically, though, Montresor states that he would be avenging insults with death, since he perceived that as the ultimate revenge.
By his own admission, Montressor states that “a wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser” (Poe 3).Īs such, Montressor states that he would punish the person who inflicted him with injuries, because to him, the wrongs committed against him were worthy of punishment. Irony – Montresor, who is committed to punishing a perceived wrong, is also committed to carrying out a wrong without being punished for it. To readers with a critical eye however, the figurative speech, and the hyperbole contained in the story cannot go unnoticed. The ‘ Cask of Amontillado’ is a literary classic story, which can pass as an ordinary narrative piece of literature to the average ordinary reader. He was the first person to use the term ‘short story’ Poe wrote this story as an act of revenge to another writer Montresor chains Fortunato to a wall and bricks up the opening.
