The Cask of Amontillado is one of the better stories we read this semester. The story is written by Edgar Allen Poe. This is a tale of revenge, Montresor tells his friend Fortunato that he has purchased some wine that he believes to Amontillado but he needs Fortunato taste the wine to be sure. Montresor leads Fortunato deep into the Montresor family crypt where he then chains Fortunato in a cellar and walls him away to die. Montresor mentions that Fortunato had insulted him and that he could not be forgiven for this. The Amontillado was simply a trick to lead Fortunato to his own death.
