Montresor the Connoisseur of Revenge Edgar Allen Poe has always created very distinguished narrators. In “Tell Tale Heart” he creates a cunning narrator who goes crazy over the old man’s eye. Another story he wrote, “The Cast of Amontillado”, he creates a deranged narrator, Montresor, who is a malicious maven of revenge. Montresor has a family motto, which reflects his revengeful nature “No one attacks me with impunity.”(Poe 4). In “The Cast of Amontillado” …showed first 75 words of 679 total…

…showed last 75 words of 679 total…retribution overtakes its redresser.”(1) Not getting caught as Montresor did is represented in this passage. “It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.” This account symbolizes Fortunato having time to think about Montresor killing him. Montresor finally reached his three objectives in the act on Fortunato. Therefore, Montersor is an expert of revenge as Edgar Allen Poe is an expert of horror.
