- Climax w/ External Conflict (character v character) w/ Situational Irony
- I am Fortunato and this is my perspective. I have a pal that I have been friends with for a very long time. I have the tendency to insult him each time we meet but it is all for a reason. If I told him my true feelings then he would not be my friend anymore. The truth is, I am deeply in love with his mother.
- Falling Action
- Please don't do this. I love your mother! How could you do this!
- At the Carnival, we discussed about what to do afterwards and Montresor suggested going down to his vaults and even stating that my favorite type of wine is in his vaults! This seems like the perfect time to confess to him my love for his mother, I am very nervous. What if he knows and brought me down here to tell me his mother loves me too!?
- Resolution w/ Theme & Situational Irony
- Your mom...
- As I was looking around his vaults, I kept trying to look for an opening to express my strong feelings for his mother. He brought me into the room with my favorite type of wine and he told me that he would grab the wine opener. Alas, he had fooled me. He was not going to grab the wine opener and plans on leaving me here to die from suffocation!
- I was in agonizing emotional pain because I would have never thought my own pal would do this from me. I tried to plead with him by saying that I love his mother and I would try my best to hide that fact by picking on him. He knew that his mother was in love with me as well but it would be too much for him to see me and his mother together. There is no way out of this inevitable death, this is my fate. I will die at the hands of my own friend...
- I cannot accept seeing my mother and my own friend in love with each other.
- I suppose I will spend whatever time I have remaining to breathe air to think about how my fate could have been changed if I had never picked on Montresor in the first time and changed his opinion on me and his mother being together. I've learned that if I wasn't such a coward then I wouldn't have been in this situation. I don't think I can rest in peace knowing this.
- This is for all the times you have picked on me!
