Montresor believes that fortunato has repeatedly insulted him
No, Fortunato never fully understands why Montresor hates him. He is lured into the catacombs on the pretext of tasting wine, only to be betrayed and killed by Montresor in Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado."
Montresor hates Fortunato because somewhere in the past, he insulted Montresor and his family, and the Montresor's family motto is that no one can hurt the family and get away with it.
Montresor hates Fortunato due to a perceived insult or injury that Fortunato has committed against him. The exact nature of this offense is not revealed in the story, but it is the driving force behind Montresor's desire for revenge.
Yes, Montresor's conflict with Fortunato is resolved when Montresor successfully executes his plan for revenge by walling Fortunato alive in the catacombs. After this act, Montresor feels satisfied that he has taken his revenge and resolved his conflict with Fortunato.
Ah, in "The Cask of Amontillado," the external conflict is between the two main characters, Montresor and Fortunato. Montresor seeks revenge against Fortunato for past insults, leading to a conflict that plays out in the dark, eerie catacombs where Montresor lures Fortunato. It's a tale of deception, betrayal, and ultimately, tragic consequences.
It is not mentioned in the short story specifically why Montresor was insulted by Fortunato except that it was verbal.
The story does not say why Fortunato insulted Montresor. In fact, there is doubt that there ever were any insults at all. They might have simply been a product of Montresor's imagination
There are only two characters: Montresor and Fortunato the only other people named in the story are Luchresi and Lady Fortunato, who takes no active part in the plot.
No, Montresor's conflict with Fortunato is not resolved. Montresor seeks revenge for an insult and ultimately kills Fortunato in a premeditated and calculated manner. This act only serves to perpetuate the conflict rather than resolve it.
because he insulted himAccording to Montresor in his opening line: THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.Fortunato was vain and one night he got drunk and apparently shamed Montresor's family name.
"...My dear Fortunato, you are luckily met..." This is Ironic because Montresor says he's lucky to see Fortunato, but he really hates him.
A trowel. Fortunato had asked Montresor to show him the secret sign of the brotherhood of Freemasons. Montresor pulls out a trowel to show Fortunato that he is a "mason." Fortunato laughs as if Montresor were joking, little knowing that the trowel is no joke, because Montresor intends to use it to kill Fortunato.
