This question is about "The Cask of Amontillado"

Answer:

Montressor's words and actions show how corrupt revenge is.

Step-by-step explanation:

Montressor's words and actions show that he is bordering on insanity and madness. That's because he planned a torturous revenge for an enemy of his and tells the story of that vigilance with a tone of victory and joy, for having managed to carry out his sick plans. This shows how revenge has a highly corruptive nature, allowing the person who exercised the revenge to lose parts of himself, showing madness and folly, like Montressor.
