"The Cask of Amontillado"

I found this story much more interesting than any of the other stories that we have read in class. It was ironic that Fortunato's name meant fortunate considering the ending of the story and the way in which he died. I also liked how the author described the bones on the walls of the family, thins allowed you to predict that something bad was going to happen. It was also ironic how this horrible event occurred during a carnival because this is supposed to be a time of joy and social gathering but instead Montresor condemns Fortunato. I also thought that it was interesting how Fortunato thought that Montresor was joking which being dressed up in costumes and the time of the carnival i would have thought the same thing.
