They go to Montresor's vaults although Fortunato has been warned several times by Montresor that it might not be good for his health. ![]() Fortunato decides to go with his "friend" because he can say if it is Amontillado or not. ![]() One day in the carnival season he meets Fortunato, who is costumed, "by accident" (he must have planned the meeting before) and tells him that he has bought a cask of Amontillado without being sure that it really contains this type of sherry. He knows about Fortunato's weak point, which is his connoisseurship in wine and decides to use it. But he wants to avenge himself without being punished and does not show by any sign to anybody that he has unfriendly ideas concerning Fortunato. ![]() In "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe we are told by a first-person-narrator who is at the same time the main character, called Montresor, that he wants to take revenge on Fortunato, a man who has always insulted him. ![]()
