Improved Essays
Any reader could tell you that Montresor is an example of a “classic unreliable narrator”. This is probably true: if he is capable of luring Fornato into the vault, then we cannot trust him. Even if he never killed Fortunato, then we still cannot trust him. Some people talk about Poe’s secret writing in the “ Whats Up With The Title” and how “ The Cask “could be have a more deeper meaning, including Montresor.In fact, many readers see Montresor as less of a flesh and blood character than a normal mechanism. if Poe’s strategies work that Montresor’s characters makes us understand ourselves and others in a deeper way, then maybe trusting Montresor could be an

    The story begins with the narrator, Montresor, expressing his desire to revenge himself upon Fortunato for a “thousand injuries” (Poe 714), and this immediately gives the reader the impression that the narrator is at least slightly mentally unhinged. The scene is set during a carnival in a time period some fifty years prior to Montresor’s current retelling, which applies to Romanticism as the setting is somewhat obscure and the time is not current. The fact that Montresor buries Fortunato alive is extremely shocking to the reader, as is Montresor’s apparent cold-heartedness and his unapologetic manner. Montresor’s actions, although premeditated, seem dominated by his emotions of hatred toward his victim, and not by any amount of logic or…

This adds to the irony because the audience knows that Montresor has this whole elaborate plan to murder Fortunato, yet he shows all these caring actions towards him.…

    The fact that the motive for killing Fourtunado is never revealed, pushes many to believe that Montresor was insane.

In the story Montresor says, “My heart grew sick-on account of the dampness of the catacombs.” This ironic sentence can also be used to show that he felt no guilt.…
