What motivates Montresor's actions?

Answer 1

His motive is revenge. In the short story "The Cask of Amontillado' by Edgar Allan Poe, Montresor explains his motive for revenge against Fortunato thus: THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitively settled - but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.

Answer 2

Montresor's actions are motivated by a deep-seated desire for revenge against Fortunato, whom he believes has wronged him in some way. This desire for revenge, coupled with his cold and calculating nature, drives Montresor to meticulously plan and execute his plot to murder Fortunato.

Answer 3

Montresor is retelling the story of how he got his revenge on Fortunato by chaining him to a wall in a small room in his cellar, then laying a brick wall to seal Fortunato in. At the end of the story, Montresor states that the wall has remained undisturbed for the past half century, meaning no one has ever found out that Fortunato is still behind the wall after all these years.
