The Cask of Amontillado

The techniques that the author is using are description because he describes the mood, and setting very well. It's detailed, and gets yourself in the story. He is also using foreshadowing, because I think he is dropping hints at the readers to let us kind of know what will be happening at the end. The main character wants revenge, and you know it right at the beginning. The setting is developed slow then rises to detailed visuals. The author is conveying evil imagery by using words to set the specific mood. Especially when i was listening to the speaker telling the story, it was the way he was reading it that told me the tone of it. I think that the character is the representation of evil, because he wants revenge. Some of the factors contributing to the characters actions were that he wanted revenge from Fortunato, and that made him do the things he did, like leaving Fortunato in the catacombs. I think that the evil is conveyed mostly through the imagery, and the setting. Especially at the end of the story it really starts to get dark and seem evil to me. But the part that impacted the most to me is the ending. He just left Fortunato there!
