Answer:

Edgar Allan Poe describes Fortunato's clothing in The Cask of Amontillado to state the personality of the character.

Step-by-step explanation:

The clothes of Fortunado are described to detail to work in many aspects of the story, for instance, Fortunato's dress is described to foreshadow the role his bells will have in the ending scene, besides, they represent the revelry of the carnival season due to their multicolor form. They show that he is a drinker, a fool or buffoon.
