• TITLE: The Cask of Amontillado
• AUTHOR: Edgar Allan Poe
• SETTING: (Time and Place) Italy, late
1700's early 1800's during Carnival
The Cask of Amontillado
• One of the main themes of Edgar Allan
Poe’s The Cask Of Amontillado is
revenge. In this summary theme, it’ll
demonstrate how dramatic irony is used all
along the short story as a way of
reminding us the true intentions of the
character who vowed revenge.
• The main character, a man called
Montressor, feels terribly offended, even
insulted by a friend named Fortunato, and
firmly decides to take this friend’s life. In
order to achieve his aim, Montressor
elaborates a plan which consists basically of
two steps: first, to take Fortunato to the
catacombs of the Montressors, and second,
to arrest Fortunato down there forever
 Montressor states that in spite of his
decision of killing Fortunato, he continued
smiling in his face ( Fortunato’s ), but he
adds: “…and he did not perceive that my
smile now was at the thought of his
immolation.” So, when they meet each other
they behaved as always, but now
Montressor’s smile had another meaning for
himself.
