Comparison of the narrative of The Cask of Amontillado and The Black Cat by Edgar Allen PoeEdgar Allen Poe is the author of many great pieces of literature. He uses his narrators to explain situations that are happening in their lives. The narrators of "The Cask of Amontillado" and "The Black Cat" demonstrate their love of man's inhumanity to humans and animals through horrific murders. In "Cask of Amontillado", Montresor is the narrator. "The thousand injuries of Fortunato he has borne as best he could; but when he dares the insult, Montresor swears revenge" (Poe 528). As the story unfolds, “Montresor's idea of ​​perfect revenge” is “characteristically precise and logical in detail” regarding how he commits his crime (Delaney 1). While at the carnival, Montresor bought some of the finest Amontillado wines to use in his revenge plan to kill Fortunato. Then he meets his "friend", Fortunato. Fortunato wears "a close-fitting robe with striped parts and the head is surmounted by the conical cap and bells" (Poe 528). The fact that he wears this outfit makes him great for the narrator because he will make fun of Fortunato. Montresor is a manipulative person. He challenges Fortunato's understanding in wine tasting and takes him to the family estate. When they arrive at Montresor's estate, Montresor leads Fortunato down the stairs into the catacombs. Down here is where Fortunato will taste the Amontillado and where Montresor's revenge will take place. As he gets closer and closer, the narrator opens up more and more about how he is going to kill his "friend." It appears that this was a premeditated murder. Montresor seems so inconspicuous that he acts as if he cares about Fortunato, which is still part of his plan.
