Begin planning to write a narrative essay using the Narrative Organizer. Choose one of the following topics for your narrative essay. In the short story, "The Cask of Amontillado," the reader is never told what the exact insult was that caused Montresor to seek revenge against Fortunato. Write to tell what happened before the story begins in "The Cask of Amontillado." or In the short story, "The Cask of Amontillado," the reader is never told what becomes of Montresor after he completes his plot against Fortunato. Write to tell what happened after the story ends in "The Cask of Amontillado." You will only submit Part One of your Narrative Organizer, though you will be completely writing a narrative essay of 1,000 to 1,500 words in subsequent lessons.

The insult most likely has to do with something about Montresor's family. When Montresor is in the catacombs with Fortuanto, Fortunato takes several unconscious digs at Montresor's family. At one point he says, "Oh, I forgot, the Montresors were once a great and noble family." In other words, Montresor's family is not as noble as it once was. Then, Fortunato makes the sign of the masons, an exclusive club of prominent men of the time. Then he says, "Oh, you are not of the masons?"---an obvious dig a Montresor's prestige. Montresor quickly pulls out a trowel, a tool of the common mason, or bricklayer, and says, sarcastically, "Yes. Yes, I am a mason." Of course, this is a reference to Montresor's plan to bury Fortunato alive. Poor Fortunato is totally obvious to this plan because he is so proud and also drunk.

How It All Goes Down The story is told in first person, so we don’t explicitly learn the narrator’s name until near the end. Until then, we’ll call him “the narrator.” Here we go. The narrator begins by telling us that Fortunato has hurt him. Even worse, Fortunato has insulted him. The narrator must get revenge. He meets Fortunato, who is all dressed up in jester clothes for a carnival celebration − and is already very drunk. The narrator mentions he’s found a barrel of a rare brandy called Amontillado. Fortunato expresses eager interest in verifying the wine’s authenticity. So he and the narrator go to the underground graveyard, or “catacomb,” of the Montresor family. Apparently, that’s where the narrator keeps his wine. The narrator leads Fortunato deeper and deeper into the catacomb, getting him drunker and drunker along the way. Fortunato keeps coughing, and the narrator constantly suggests that Fortunato is too sick to be down among the damp crypts, and should go back. Fortunato just keeps talking about the Amontillado. Eventually, Fortunato walks into a man-sized hole that’s part of the wall of a really nasty crypt. The narrator chains Fortunato to the wall, then begins to close Fortunato in the hole by filling in the opening with bricks. When he has one brick left, he psychologically tortures Fortunato until he begs for mercy – and we finally learn the narrator’s name: Fortunato calls him “Montresor.” After Fortunato cries out Montresor’s name, he doesn’t have any more lines. But just before Montresor puts in the last brick, Fortunato jingles his bells. Then Montresor finishes the job and leaves him there to die. At the very end, Montresor tells us that the whole affair happened fifty years ago, and nobody has found out.
