1. Write a paragraph analyzing three components of the short story that stand out to you and why. (Remember to choose from the basics found on the Literary Analysis Power Point!)
- Point of View: First person's point of view using "I".
I thought the way the author went through the story was very strange because the story sounded as if the author was talking to us like a narrator in a play.
- Irony: Verbal and situational irony is found in the part where Fortunato is dressed in a clown-looking way and is purposely made a fool. Also, it is also ironic how Montresor says, "How remarkably well you are looking to-day."
- Symbol: As the title mentions the cask of Amontillado, I think this has a symbolic meaning deep inside. I think this cask of Amontillado represents the greed because of how the cask and the wine drew Fortunato into Montresor's grasp.
