The cask of Amontillado

(Eng 1.)

"The Cask of Amontillado" was first published in 1846. The first-person narrator, Montresor, is unreliable and is attempting to explain his actions of 50 years before. The story begins with Montresor addressing someone familiar, who knows the "nature of my soul." He explains that he had borne "the thousand injuries of Fortunato," but finally Fortunato went too far, and he devised a plan for revenge.

Quote based on the story;

sometimes the strongest feelings can over power the worst of you

to become the monster that wanted to take over that power.
