Summarize The Cask of Amontillado
Answers:
It is dusk on a day during the annual carnival celebration in an Italian city. People are eating, drinking, and making merry past the beginning of the 40-day Lenten season. Montressor want revenge. He vow to get revenge without anyone notice. He's angry at Fortunato. The story never said why Montressor want revenge against Fortunato or what he did. The story begins when Montressor approached Fortunato at the carnival. Fortunato was wearing a tight-fitting parti-striped dress and his head be surmounted by the conical cap and bells. Montressor told Fortunato that he own a amontillado, a very rare type of wine. Fortunato fire up to doubt him because he's a wine expert. He loves alcohol and is a connoisseur on wine. Then Fortunato begin to insist that he want to see the wine. Montresor says he plans to ask Luchesi, another wine expert, to test it. Fortunato initiate to scoff and said that Luchesi knows nothing about wine.
They go to the they descend into the cold, damp vaults where the wine is kept. The vault are part of a network of catacombs containing the bones of long-dead members of the Montresor nearest and dearest. It is located below Montressor's palace. They begin walking until Frotunato had a cough. He was coughing because of the atmosphere; he has asthma problems. Montressor told him that they should go back because he want to seem to be like he cares about Fortunato's strength. Fortunato refuses to go back to the carnival. He told him that he want to see the wine. He's not going support.
Suddenly, Montressor brough out a bottle of Medoc wine. Montressor held the wine and begin to toast. He said that he toasts to the people around him. Fortunato toasts his drink to a long life. They have a conversation. Montressor told him about the vaults and his family crest. His clan crest is a foot in a blue background crushing a snake whose fangs are inbuilt in the foot's heel, with the motto Nemo me impune lacessit (No one attacks me with impunity). . Montressor insists they progress back because of Fortunato's cough. Fortunato says that he doesn't want to go wager on and that he want more wine. Montressor go out a bottle of De Grave wine. Suddenly, Fortunato became drunk and he made some kind of strange movement. He asks Montressor if he is a constituent of the Masons. Montressor hold up a trowel and says that he is a part of the masons. (This is irony in the story. Fortunato technique the Freemasons, a secret organization. Montressor thought that he was chitchat about masons. Masons are people who works with bricks and stones.)
They set off to walk in the dark catacombs and Montressor brings up Luchesi. Fortunato say that Luchesi is an ignoramus, meaning that he knows nothing around wines. They reached into a wall and there were two iron staples, distant from respectively other about two feet, horizontally. From one of these depended a short chain. From the other a padlock. Montressor chain him up to the wall. Fortunato is drunk and begin to scream for help. He think that it's a joke so he begins to say 'the Armontillado' over and over again. Montressor mocked him. He open to seal the wall by layering bricks and using mortar. Montressor killed Fortunato. Fortunato died and Montressor was never caught. Afterwards, Montressor ends the legend by saying that no one has disturbed the place for 50 years.
