One day I am going to pay attention to the firm, pay off old scores; since the mind does not change, they did not expect to be out of danger. Not only did I have to give him a hard time, but I had to do something bad. Revenge is rewarded, and the enemy is not clear. Revenge does not let the enemy know who is harming him, and the enemy is not clear.Needless to say, I say, are not caused by Fu spit every act and every move is suspected Rothschild cherish evil thoughts. As usual for him to smile, but he didn't see me now is thought to give him life to smile.Fu spit this man in some ways Donato's respect, even awe, but there is a weakness. He boasted that he was an expert at wine tasting. There are few Italians who have the makings of a real expert. They are mostly used to warm, resourceful, cheating, so that Britain and Austria being rich. When it comes to paintings and jewelry, Fu spit with his compatriots as Rothschild, rhetoric, but when it comes to wine, it is the true value. I'm almost the same as he is - I'm expert at Italy wine, and I'll buy it as much as I can.In the lively carnival, one day in the evening, when I met thefriend spreading shades of dusk. He love me, because he goes full filling the wine. The guy was a clown, wearing a striped tights, a round pointed hat with bells on it.

I got a vat of so-called Armand Tirado (a sweet wine produced by Monti Leah in Spain), but I'm not sure.""What's wrong?"" He said, "the Amontillado? A VAT? Not really!

The walls are nitrate.""Let's go. It's nothing cold.". Amontillado! You can be fooled. Speaking of Luke Reci, he even with Amontillado Sherry are not clear."He spit on the rack for my blessing Rothschild arms; I wear black silk mask, a short cloak tightly wrapped around the body, he drives me on to the mansion. A home page does not see, have the opportunity to sneak out for the holidays. I told them I didn't go home until the second morning, and I told them not to go out.I have such a command, ensure I turned immediately, all gone.I took two torches from the candlestick, one to give him afortune, and led him through several rooms, into the arcade, to the cellar, down a long staircase, and followed him with care. At last we reached the foot of the stairs,A station in Monterey shuttle palace catacombs of wetlands.My friend tottered, cross step, bells jingled."What about the cask of wine?"" He said."In front," I said, "watch out for the white spider web glowing on the wall."He turned towards me, watery eyes two drunk obscurity to stare at me."Nitrate?"" He asked at last."Nitrate," I replied, "how long have you been suffering from that cough?"""Uh, hey! Eh, hey! Eh, hey! - uh, hey! Eh, hey! Eh, hey! - uh, hey! Eh, hey! Eh, hey! - uh, hey! Eh, hey! Eh, hey! - uh, hey! Eh, hey! Eh, hey!"My poor friend couldn't answer for a long time."Nothing," he said finally."Well," I still replied, "let's go back, your body. You have to respect everyone, rich and powerful, the people; you as happyas I have. To have an unexpected misfortune that is no trivial matter. I do not care, let's go back, you are sick, I can't handle. Besides, there's Luke, ray""Don't say that," he said. "Cough is nothing. Cough never dies.". I'm not coughing.""Yes - yes," I replied. "Seriously, I didn't mean to frighten you - but I had to take precaution. A drink of wine to moisture. The doc."I said from the mud of a long line of wine to pick up a bottle, knocking out the bottleneck. "Drink," I handed him the wine.He glanced at me and raised the bottle to his lips. He sat close to the start, I nodded, bells jingled."I drink to those who sleep underground."." He said."I am for you a long life."He took my arm again, and we walked on."These cellars are really big." He said.The Monterey shuttle is Han, multi generation after generation of descendants." I answer."I forgot your house.".""A big man's feet, gold, with a piece of blue. The article fromthe snake crushes, the snake will bite a tooth heel.""Then the family?"Those who hurt me will be punished.""Wonderful!"!" He said.Drunk, his eyes sparkling, cap and jingle bells rang. I drank the wine was more beautiful Murdoch, make blind and disorderly conjectures. We walked a long bones and the size of barrel pile clip lane, deep in the tomb pit, I stopped, this time actually boldly seize the blessing of the upper arm spit rothschild."Nitrate"!" I said, "look, more and more.". Like moss, hanging on the vault. We're under the river bed. Beads of water dripping in the bones?. Let's go back as early as possible. You cough""It's nothing," he said. "Let's go down. But let me drink wine and beauty doc."I opened a pot of wine to his graves. He drank it, eyes suddenly combatively, straight smile Oh, put the bottle into a throw, that gesture, I don't understand what it meant.I looked at him in surprise. He made the gesture again, an odd gesture."You don't understand?"" He said."I don't understand." I answer."Then you're not the same.""What's wrong?"""You are not a mason. (the original is Mason, in English in Mason and Masonic solution, according to a Masonic originated in medieval times, originally a secret society, the bricklayers union to help each other for the purpose of meeting to sign contact.)" "Yes, yes," I said, "yes, yes.".""You?" Not really! Are you?""I am," I replied."Where's the code?" he said. "What about the code?""This is," I replied, and pulled out a trowel from beneath the cloak."You're kidding." he stepped back, shouting. "Let's go see the Amontillado.""Well," I said, put on the cloak of the trowel again, while stretch my arm to hold him. He leaned heavily on my arm. This continues to move forward, and then down, into a deep grave, where the air is muddy, the torch in the hand does not see the fire, there is only a flame.At the end of the grave, there was a more narrow tomb. The rows of piles of bones have been piled up to the vault, the greatcatacombs of Paris as a sample. Inside this tomb, there are three walls, still piled like this. And one side of the bones had been torn down, piled up on the ground in a mess, and accumulated into a huge mound of bones. In the wall out of the bones, but inside there is a tomb or niche, about four feet deep, three feet wide, six or seven feet high. It had made no plans to send what special use, but is the tomb pit roof pillars of the gap between the two. Behind a wall on rugged granite walls.Fu spit dark torches lift Rothschild, try to move a deep careful see, is in vain, weak fire, can't see the bottom."Go ahead," I said, "here is the head of amontillado. As for Luke, ray""He's an expert," my friend staggered along, interrupting me, and I walked right behind him. In a blink of an eye, he went to the end of the niche, and saw the rock blocked, and he was bewildered. After a moment, I had locked him on the granite wall. The wall filled with two rings, about two feet in length and distance. One ring is hung with a short iron chain, and the other hangs a big lock. Without a moment, put him to cut the chain. He panicked and forgot to rebel. I pulled out the key and got out of the alcove. "Stretch out your hand and touch the wall,"I said, "protect you to the nitrate.". It's really wet. Let me once more beg you to go back. Not going back? Then I have to leave you. But I'm going to have to take care of you first.""The amontillado!" My friend is still suffering from the shock, cried wildly."Yes," I replied, "Armand Tirado."And I'm busy with the skeletons that I mentioned earlier. I put the bones thrown open, soon pulled out better for masonry stone and mortar. I will use these materials, and then rely on the trowel, an effort to build a wall to the entrance of the niche puzzle.I didn't even head a layer of stone brick, knew Fu spit drunk awake 80% rothschild. First heard a deep humming sound in the niche. This is not like a drunkard. There was a silent silence for a long time. I built second layers, third layers, fourth layers, and then I heard the iron chains shaking. Has been ringing for several minutes, I simply from the hands of the living, sat down in the bones, which is more agreeable to hear, clatter the voice finally dumb silence, only to pick up the trowel, don't stop the puzzle on the fifth layer, sixth layer, seventh layer. This building was almost the chest. I stopped again, lifted the torch to the stone wall, and a faint light shone on the figure.Suddenly, the chained form a succession of loud and shrill screams from the throat, as if trying to scare me. Suddenly, I have no idea, Susu trembled, and soon pulled out the sword, sword in hand to find them in a niche; thought, and put down the heart. My hands rested on the sturdy building of the tomb cellar. Go to the wall in front of the man shouted, I also cried out to him. He calls, and I shall call him louder than he does.This call, the shouting voice of the other dumb.Now I have finished at dead of night. The eighth floor, the ninth floor, the tenth layer were built earlier, and the last layer, that is, the eleventh layer, was soon finished;Just into the last piece of stone, then plastered on the line.I managed to lift the heavy stone and put the stone in the original position. Who knew there was a low laugh in the alcove that scared my hair to stand erect. Then came the shrill sound, it is easy to recognize the voice of the master Donato Fu spit. Just say -"Ha!"! Kazakhstan! Kazakhstan! Ha! Kazakhstan! Kazakhstan! This is really a big joke -- wonderful joke, back to the mansion, a happy and funny - hee! Hee! Hee! And our wine - hee! Hee! Hee!""The amontillado!" I said.Hee! Hee! Hee! Yes, amontillado. Is it too late? Fu tonalide Stowe house, they are not in the US? Let's go!""Yes," I said, "let's go."!"For heaven's sake go, Monterey shuttle!""Yes," I said, "for God's sake."."Who knows I say this sentence, how to listen to can not hear an answer. My heart grew impatient, then voice shouted: "Fu Tu rothschild!"No answer. I'll call again."Fu Tu rothschild!"Still no answer. I put the torch into the wall hole that had not been built and threw it in. Who knows only to jingle sound.I don't get sick of it. It's because of the moisture in the cellar. I hasten to finish. Plug the last stone and plaster it. Next to the new wall, to pile up the bones. No one has been moving for fifty years. May the dead rest in peace!。
The_Cask_of_Amontillado_一桶白葡萄酒(中文)
The Cask of Amontillado一桶白葡萄酒（作者埃德加·爱·伦坡（Edger Allen Poe）是19世纪美国伟大的诗人、小说家、文学评论家，他的小说主要是短篇小说，多为恐怖小说，这可能与他从小失去父母，被人收养，形成阴暗、怪异的性格有关。
）我忍受了无数福吐纳托的迫害，每当他胆敢侮辱我的时候，我都发誓要报复。
如此了解我脾性的你一定不会认为我只是说说吓唬人。
最终，我会报复的，这是毫无疑问的。
但是，采取的方式一定不能是有风险的。
我不但要报复，而且要做得不留痕迹。
如果纠正者遭到了惩罚，那么错误等于没有被纠正，同样地，如果一个报复者采取的行动不能让自己满意，那也就等于没有报复。
我必须确保我的言语和行动不能让福吐纳托认为我有恶意。
所以，我仍然像往常一样，朝他微笑，他没有察觉我的微笑里面隐藏着杀机。
尽管福吐纳托在其他方面是个让人尊敬甚至让人害怕的人，但他却有个弱点，他对自己在葡萄酒上的鉴赏力颇有信心。
意大利人少有真正具备鉴赏家精神的人。
他们把大量的热情用到了抓住时间和机会欺诈不列颠和奥地利的百万富翁上。
在油画和宝石方面，福吐纳托就像他的同胞一样，是个吹嘘者，但在陈年葡萄酒的品赏上，他却是不折不扣的专家。
我在这点上跟他有着很大的相似，我自己也精于对意大利陈年好酒的鉴赏，而且只要方便就会大量买入。
天几乎黑了。
在这个极度疯狂的狂欢季节的傍晚，我遇到了我的朋友。
他喝得醉醺醺的，热情洋溢地过来跟我搭话。
他穿得五颜六色。
紧身的条纹状的衣服，头上一个圆形的帽子高高拱起，挂着铃铛。
看到他我太高兴了，不由得把他的手握得紧紧的。
“亲爱的福吐纳托，见到你真是太巧了！你今天看起来棒极了！我买了一大桶酒，据说是白葡萄酒（西班牙蒙蒂利亚生产的一种甜酒），我想确定一下。
”我对他说。
“什么？”他说，“白葡萄酒？一大桶？真的？在狂欢节期间？”“我想确定一下，”我说，“我真蠢！没咨询你就付了全款。
我没找到你，而且我怕错失了好买卖。
阿芒提拉多的酒桶
一.情节赏析
• Main characters： • Mentresor蒙特利瑟 VS Fortunato弗图纳多 • Key words：报仇、恐怖、死亡
• Questions： • 1.谁对谁报仇？为什么报仇？怎么报？ • • 2.故事到底如何恐怖？ • 3.谁死了，怎么死的？
The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge.…… At length, I would be avenged…
环境
上下两个截然不同的世界: 地面上狂欢兴奋， 地面下寒气 逼人，白骨成堆。这两个世界形 成鲜明对比，进一步渲染了文章 的恐怖效果。
• 地面上: • It was about dusk，one evening during the supreme madness of the carnival reason，that I encountered my friend． • 地面下： • 在通往地窖的路上蒙特雷塞不断强调寒冷 潮湿的空气,地窖墙壁上,顶端硝的存在,以 及地上一堆堆的白骨, 使福图纳托心理承 受能力下降, 恐惧心理加剧 。
三.拓展思考
• 1.名字的含义 • "仇人"福图纳托(Fortunato)的名字与英文中 "fortunate"发音相似,意为"幸运 ",他代表新兴 资产阶级,在生意场上很成功,但是在一生的幸运 之后,他却遭受了人生最大的不幸:被活埋; • 而"复仇者"蒙特雷塞(Montresors)与英文中的 "monstrous"发音相似,意为"魔鬼",他是一个没落 的贵族,福图纳托的快乐对于他来说是一种伤害, 但不幸运的他却将幸运的福图纳托封死在地窖里, 从而扮演了"魔鬼"的角色.

总有一天我要报仇雪恨；这个注意坚定不移，既然拿定主意不改，就没想到会出危险。
我不仅要给他吃吃苦头，还要干得绝了后患。
报仇的自己得到报应，这笔仇就没了清。
复仇的不让冤家知道是谁害他，这笔仇也没了清。

还是照常对他笑脸相迎，可他没看出如今我是想到要送他命才笑呢。
福吐纳托这人在某些方面虽令人尊重，甚至令人敬畏，可就是有个弱点。
他自夸是品酒老手。
意大利人没几个具有真正行家的气质。
他们的热诚，多半都用来随机应变，看风使舵，好让英国和奥地利的大财主上当。
谈到古画和珠宝方面，福吐纳托跟他同胞一样，夸夸其谈，不过谈到陈酒方面，倒是真正识货。
这点我跟他大致相同——对意大利葡萄酒，我也算内行，只要办得到的话，就大量买进。
在热闹的狂欢节里，有天傍晚，正当暮色苍茫，我碰到了这位朋友。
他亲热的招呼我，因为他肚里灌饱了酒。
这家伙扮成小丑，身穿杂色条纹紧身衣，头戴圆尖帽，上面系着铃铛。

The cask of Amontillado文学分析(全英文)
Literary Analysis Essay of The cask of AmontilladoI want to talk about the suspense in the story—the cask of Amontillado. The writer Edgar Allen Poe uses a lot of suspense in the story. So when readers read the story they are deep attractive in it. The writer creates suspense by using foreshadowing and conflict. And it makes the suspense more dramatic and easy to understand.In the short story the cask of Amontillado, Edgar Allen Poe creates the main characters by the dialogue between them. The dialogue shows how dark and evil the protagonist is. The writer also mirrors the inner change of the main characters by using the conversation between them and some detailed depiction. Finally, the background of the writer is also very important for you to understand the theme of the story. The more you know about the writer, the deeper you will understand the story.The suspense in the story is very artful and attractive. The suspense also makes the beginning of the story more clearly. The whole story goes on very smoothly. You can see the suspense almost everywhere in the story. But the writer uses many different ways such as foreshadowing and conflict to make them look different and dramatic.There are some examples of suspense in the short story. First, it is in the first paragraph of the story, Montresor said he must not punish but punish with impunity. (Edgar, 1) In my point of view, this is the first suspense in the story. It let the readers think about the two characters. The readers may have a first impression on one of the characters----Montresor, who is evil and revengeful. However, which evil ways Montresor used to punish Fortunato, every reader want to know it. Indeed, this is a very useful suspense to attract readers.The second suspense in the story is in the third paragraph. The key word is immolation. Similarly, the word shows the protagonist is an evil avenger. On the other hand, the word immolation shows that the protagonist would kill the antagonist in the end of the story.There is the third suspense in the middle of the story. The protagonist said that he cared about the illness of the antagonist, so they will go back because the antagonist is rich, respected, beloved, and happy. The health of the antagonist is more precious. (Edgar, 3) The forth suspense is in the forth page of the story. The two characters walked through the long walls of piled skeletons. In my view, it foreshadows the death of the antagonist------Fortunado. In addition, …its wall had been lined with human remains, piled to the vault overhead.‟(Edgar, 5) It is also suspense in the story.All in all, there is much suspense in the short story. The writer Edgar Allen Poe creates and sets them into the story gimmicky, as a result, the readers will have a deep impression on this story, when readers start reading this book, they cannot give up. Also, the writer describes the characters by using suspense. You really want to know the characterization of the characters. Such as the darkness of the protagonist. Most important, the readers are focus on the polt of the story, they will clearly know the beginning, the climax, and the end of the story. So the readers might think about that they are one of the characters in the story. Then they will a deeper and particular considering of the story.In addition to suspense, Edgar Allen Poe uses the dialogue between the two main characters to make them fresher and more lifelikeness. The readers can easily distinguish the protagonist and the antagonist, but how the writer do it, the answer is the writer creates different dialogue for the characters have difference in ideology and characterization.Furthermore, the dialogues used in the story are close to real life, the readers can read them smoothly because they are spoken dialogue.Here are some examples of the dialogue in the story.First of all, the first dialogue between the two characters is in the sixth paragraph. The antagonist said: “Amontillado! A pipe! In the middle of the carnival.”(Edgar, 1)Then he repeated the word …Amontillado‟ several times. Surely, it shows that the antagonist is crazy about wine.The second example is in the middle of the story, after the antagonist coughed. The protagonist said: “Come, we will go back, your health is precious.” (Edgar, 4) You can see that the protagonist is untruthful, he is kind to the antagonist but he really wants to kill him. The third dialogue is about mason. The antagonist asked the protagonist: “Are you the masons?”The protagonist replied:”Yes, yes, I am a mason.”“You are the masons! Impossible” said the antagonist. (Edgar, 4) This conversation shows the characterization of the antagonist. He is got above himself. He thinks he is the mason and defies the people who are not as rich as him.There is the forth dialogue, the protagonist said: “Indeed, it is very dam. Once more let me implore you to return. No? Then I must positively leave you.” Answered the antagonist at once: “The Amontillado!”(Edgar, 5) Similarly, you can know the interest and the characterization of them.The final dialogue is in the end of the story. The antagonist laughed in a strange voice: “Yes, the Amontillado, but is it not getting late? Will not they be awaiting us at the palazzo, the lady Fortunato and the rest? Let us be gone.” (Edgar, 6) The antagonist still thinks it is ajoke make on him. Then the protagonist replied: “Yes, let us be gone.” From this, you can know how evil and untruthful the protagonist is. But after that, there is an exciting change. The protagonist called the other again and again: “Fortunato,” no answer, “Fortunato,” still no answer, it was horrible silence. The antagonist did not want the protagonist to feel satisfied. And the antagonist wants to make the protagonist feel guilty.In a word, the conversation between the two characters is very important; it can help the readers know about the characterization, the hobby and the thought of the characters. On the other hand, the dialogue is also a clue in the story; it shows how the story goes on. Readers can clearly know about the beginning, the climax and the end of the story. You can also know the thinking ways of the characters.Edgar Allen Poe also used some detailed depiction in the story to represent the inner change of the characters. You can find the detailed depiction in the dialogue, or in some other places in the story. The detailed depiction is very important for you to understand For instance, at the beginning of the story, the antagonist possessed himself of my arms; and putting on a mask of black silk and drawing a roquelaire closely about my person. This series of movement is detailed depiction; it shows that the antagonist is crazy about wine. He really wants to taste the Amontillado.There is the second example after it; the antagonist emptied a flagon of De Grave. His eyes flashed with a fierce light. He laughed and threw the bottle upwards with a strange gesticulation. (Edgar, 4) This is another series of detailed movement, from the words, like flash, fierce and throw, it surely sets off the arrogance of the antagonist. Unfortunately, the evil protagonist is beside him and he is the man who really wants to punish him. So you canimagine how angry and surprised the protagonist was at that moment.The third is in the end of the story: A succession of loud and shrill screams, bursting suddenly from the throat of the chained form, seemed to thrust me violently back. For a brief moment I hesitated, I trembled. Unsheathing my rapier, I began to grope with it about the recess; but the thought of an instant reassured me. (Edgar, 6) This is a detailed depiction. In my point of view, it represents the inner change of the protagonist. From scared to hesitated and then to satisfied.In a word, the detailed depiction is one of the most important parts of the story. It shows the inner change of the characters and depicts the characters. More importantly, the detailed depiction connects the polt of the story. Also, a good depiction can attract the readers.Edgar Allen Poe was born in 1809, and he wrote the story the cask of Amontillado in 1846. He blazons force the mysticism. And he used to write article about revenge, horror and death. The writer uses many ways such as parable, irony, metaphor and foreshadowing to create dark and suffocative situation. Readers can be easily taken into the story. There is an example in the story.At the most remote end of the crypt there appeared another less spacious. Its walls had been lined with human remains, piled to the vault overhead, in the fashion of the great catacombs of Paris. (Edgar, 4)All in all, the writer Edgar Allen Poe creates a story full of horror and darkness. He uses suspense, dialogue and detailed depiction. Because of these, he makes the story the cask of Amontillado really attract the readers, it makes deep impression on them. Also, the two main characters are very easy for readers to separate, because Edgar uses different kind ofdialogue for each of the character.By creating the suspense in the story, Edgar makes a clue in the story. It shows the development of the whole story. The suspense can also guide the readers read the story. For example, it sometimes shows what happened next and how the characters are. Further, Edgar uses the suspense to attract the readers, to make them focus on the story.In doing so, Edgar Allen Poe creates a kind of story about revenge, horror and death, different from the story always filled with justice and kindness. Although the cask of Amontillado is about revenge and other dark thing, the story still have good logic. So you can know about the reason and the result of everything happen in the story. According to this, people regard Edgar Allen Poe as …the founder of detective story.‟。

总有一天我要报仇雪恨；这个注意坚定不移，既然拿定主意不改，就没想到会出危险。
我不仅要给他吃吃苦头，还要干得绝了后患。
报仇的自己得到报应，这笔仇就没了清。
复仇的不让冤家知道是谁害他，这笔仇也没了清。
不消说，我一言一语，一举一动都没引起福吐纳托怀疑是存心不良。
还是照常对他笑脸相迎，可他没看出如今我是想到要送他命才笑呢。
福吐纳托这人在某些方面虽令人尊重，甚至令人敬畏，可就是有个弱点。
他自夸是品酒老手。
意大利人没几个具有真正行家的气质。
他们的热诚，多半都用来随机应变，看风使舵，好让英国和奥地利的大财主上当。
谈到古画和珠宝方面，福吐纳托跟他同胞一样，夸夸其谈，不过谈到陈酒方面，倒是真正识货。
这点我跟他大致相同——对意大利葡萄酒，我也算内行，只要办得到的话，就大量买进。
在热闹的狂欢节里，有天傍晚，正当暮色苍茫，我碰到了这位朋友。
他亲热的招呼我，因为他肚里灌饱了酒。
这家伙扮成小丑，身穿杂色条纹紧身衣，头戴圆尖帽，上面系着铃铛。
我看见他真是高兴极了，不由想握着他的手久久不放。
我对他说：“老兄啊，幸会，幸会。
你今天气色真是好到极点。
我弄到一大桶所谓白葡萄酒（西班牙蒙蒂利亚生产的一种甜酒），可我不放心。
”“怎的？”他说，“白葡萄酒？一大桶？不见得吧！在狂欢节期间哪弄得到？”“我不放心，”我答道，“我真笨透了，居然没跟你商量，就照白葡萄酒的价钱全付清了。
找又找不到你，可又生怕错过这笔买卖。
” “白葡萄酒！”“我不放心。
”“白葡萄酒！”“我一定得放下这条心！”“白葡萄酒！”“瞧你有事，我正想去找卢克雷西呢。
只有他才能品酒。
他会告诉我——”“可有些傻瓜硬说他眼力跟你不相上下呢。
”“快，咱们走吧。

• Montresor: vicious（恶毒的）, discreet (谨慎的), crafty (hide his true purpose), sophisticated, hypocritical, cruel, well-educated, but morbid psychologically（病态的）. • Fortunato: ignorant, seemingly cruel, arrogant, and self-centered or egocentered.
It is fascinating in its theme and masterful in its tightly woven symbolism and contrast. Only three names are mentioned in the work, Fortunato, luchresi and Montresor, all three of which are suggestive of treasure
• When the two men reach the last underground chamber, Montresor chains Fortunato to the wall, builds a new wall to seal him in, and leaves him to die.

The Paradoxical Pattern for Poe's Career:
Success as an artist and editor but failure to satisfy his employers and to secure a livelihood The January 1837 issue of the Messenger announced Poe's withdrawal as editor but also included the first installment of one of his long prose tales, five of his reviews, and two of hie of Poe’s Reputation Aldous Huxley wrote that Poe's writing "falls into vulgarity" by being "too poetical" – the equivalent of wearing a diamond ring on every finger.

The Cask of Amontillado
By Edgar Allan Poe
First published:1846
The story is about the protagonist, Montresor’s revenge against Fortunato and it was expressed in the first person point of view. Though Monresor chose to bear injuries from Fortunato ,he decided to revenge on him because of insulting. It seemed that Monstresor had planned for a long time, which was shown in: I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. (P3)He caught an opportunity on one day during the carnival season. For the reason that he knew that Fortunato’s being proud of his connoisseurship in wine, he told Fortunato that he bought a pipe of Amontillado and he had doubts about it . Hearing that, Fortunato ,who was drunk felt obliged to help him to work it out. Then Monstresor brought Fortunate to his vault and pretended to worry about his health, How long have you had the caught?(P5)Come, we will go back to ere it is too late.Your cough--(P7),which caused Fortunato to lose his caution. When they arrived the most remote end of the crypt,he fettered Fortunato to two staples and began to wall up the entrance of the niche. Finally, Fortunate found the fact but no one to help, he was buried alive.No answer still(P10) witnessed it.
It’s not difficult to find that the work posses a value in the history of literature and it’s related to current problems and our life. Referring to the importance of the work , it turned out to be a masterpiece of Edgar Allan
Poe whose achievements marked a new level of maturity in 19th century and it involves the use of irony and revealing the evil side of humankind .For example, Monstresor hatred Fortunato to death,but he called Fortunato”my friend”and “try his best “to take care of his health. Moreover, the process of the murder appeared to be so friendly. The use
of irony leads the characterizon to be full and the whole story to become more interesting and full of wit. Also, insulting is the cause of the story and protagonist’s revenge on Fortunato with no impurity which exposes human being’s evil and reminds people of rethinking of it. The work turns out to be related to current problems. If we study Monstresor’s revenge and current problems, similarities are shown: they are led by the accumulating of negative emotions from small things in life and the results are unexpected. We can find it in the extreme ways of dealing with the relationship between people,which reveals people’s evil. What’s more, it reminds me of life’ insecurity for it’s possible。
