- Montressor
- Fortunato
- This storyboard/comic is on Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask of Amontillado. The wine is supposed to be the amontillado that the story is based around. The reason why everything has an old-timey font was that Edgar Allen Poe lived during the 1800s. The reason the writing is yellow is that yellow reminds me of moonlight and the story takes place during the night. The story starts out very boring.
- Plot
- The story takes place in Italy during the night. It starts off at a town plaza where there is a festival. We then travel to the catacombs under Montressor's castle. We are then finally at the large crypt where there is a niche in the wall with chains inside. Edgar Allen Poe is good at describing the surroundings.
- Conflict
- Montressor is the one with the brown hair, red skirt, and girls shoes. He is also younger than Fortunato. Fortunato has blond hair, a green shirt, and boots. He is supposed to be fat, red-faced, and a heavy drinker. In the story, they are both wearing medieval skirts. He is good at painting a picture of the characters in your mind.
- Conclusion and Solution
- The summary/plot is Fortunato insults Montressor, who seeks revenge. Montressor tells Fortunato that he has some very fancy wine in the cellar below his castle. Montressor then gets him drunk and leads him to a hole in his wall. Montressor locks him up and seals him in the hole, he then leaves him for dead. At the start, it sounds like Fortunato is the bad guy.
- @!#$%^***
- I will have my revenge
- The goal of Montressor's plan is to kill Fortunato. His first step to achieving his goal is to trick Fortunato into coming to his basement. His second step is to get Fortunato so drunk he does not know what is going on or where he is going. His third step is to shackle his friend up, and wall up the niche. His final step is to run away and let his friend's bones rot for 50 years straight. Locking his friend in the niche and running away is a twist.
- HA-HA-Ha
- AHH!!!
- In the end, Montressor achieves his goal of killing Fortunato for his grievous insults. We know this because Montressor says no one touched Fortunato's bones in 50 years. And there was an awkward silence after we hear Fortunato goes delusional so this implies that Fortunato died. He also says In pace requiescat which is Latin for rest in peace. I spread personal review as the last sentence on most of these descriptions also I combined the conclusion and solution because they are the same thing.
