Question

In the beginning of the story, omitted from this excerpt Fortunato, dressed in the cap and bells of a court jester or fool. Leaves a costume ball to accompany Montresor in search of the Amontillado. Do you find any clues in the story to suggest that Montresor may have thought Fortunato to be a fool and that he may have regretted Fortunato's stupidity?

Answer 1

There are hints in the story that suggests that Mon-t-re-sor considered Fortun-ato to be naive.

And, Mon-t-re-sor did not regret Fortun-ato's ignorance.

Step-by-step explanation:

'The Cask of Amon-tillado' is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. The story is a revenge narration of Mont-resor, who is confessing his crime to someone fifty years later after he committed the crime.

From the stories, one can find clues that Mont-resor considered Fortun-ato to be a fool. When he states 'I was so pleased to see him, that I thought I should never have done wrin-gi-ng his hand.'

Mont-resor also never regretted Fortun-ato's ignorance rather he was pleased that he did not have to wr-ing his hand to exert his plan.
