Fortunato's pride and curiosity led him to follow Montresor into the catacombs to inspect the Amontillado, as he wanted to prove his wine connoisseurship by tasting a rare and valuable wine. However, this decision ultimately leads to his demise as Montresor sought revenge for an insult.
In 'The Cask of Amontillado' by Edgar Allan Poe, the third stanza reads: "He had a weak point—this Fortunato—although in other regards he was a man to be respected and even feared. He prided himself on his connoisseurship in wine."
The narrator mentions Luchesi to Fortunato to manipulate his pride and vanity, making him eager to prove his superior wine connoisseurship by tasting the Amontillado before Luchesi. This reveals the narrator's cunning and deceitful nature as he uses Fortunato's weakness to achieve his dark purpose.
W. H. Willshire was a British writer and art historian known for his works on art collecting and connoisseurship. Some of his notable books include "The Connoisseur's Book of the Cigar" and "The Portrait Miniature."
The irony lies in the fact that Montresor intentionally lures Fortunato to his doom by appealing to his pride in his wine connoisseurship. Fortunato's arrogance and belief in his own superiority blind him to the danger, leading him willingly into the catacombs where he meets his end. This ironic twist highlights the theme of betrayal and deception in Edgar Allan Poe's story "The Cask of Amontillado."
