Fortunato's Greatest Weakness

Edgar Allen Poe's Amontillado's Cask is a dark and horrible story of revenge, temptation, murder. Fortunato, the victim of this violent crime, is a fine gentleman with weakness. He has the disadvantage of someone else, but the difference is his imperfection. For poor Futunat, I found his vulnerability to be the cause of his death. If Fortunato is not drunk by his murder, he will not be tempted by the murderer Montressor and will not be killed.

"Amontillado's wooden barrel" has two main characters. As quoted by Montostro, Futunato is "rich, respected, respected and loved ...". They are all rich, proud Italian. Fortunato "has a weak point ... in other respects he is a respected and more scary person, he is proud of his gratitude for wine." The weakness of his drinking is certainly due to Montresor's Fortunato project . I will do it. Before he was locked, Futunat was not aware of his consciousness. The environment is dim. "One night in the carnival season's best madness, around dusk, I met my friend." As the story progressed, they entered the underground cemetery, The environment became darker and darker. Montressor chose dusk in a very smart place with encounter with Fortunato.

Montreso knows that Futunato's weakness is wine. He took advantage of Futunat's weakness as a weapon to take him to the cellar. Futunat is proud of his gratitude for wine. He wants people to believe that he is the best wine expert. Therefore, when Montresor told Luchesi to ask Amontillado, he said that he would not let someone else like a wine expert. Regarding Luchesi, he could not distinguish Sherry from Amontillado. Fortunato's pride brought about his death. If he is not very proud of his gratitude for wine, he will live. In fact, he can not accept that other people may have more experience than him when talking about wine, and destroyed him.
