Fortunato is the anatagonist because he is the one in conflict with the protagonist, or main character, Montresor. The protagonist of a short story is the main character, regardless of whether that character is good or bad. It seem odd to label Fortunato the antagonist, since he is the one being antagonized by being chained to a wall and sealed up behind a brick wall in Montresor's cellar for the next 50 years. It also seems odd to label Montresor the protagonist since he is the one antagonizing Fortunato. It does not seem odd when one disregards the connotation of 'good' that the prefix 'pro' has and disregards the connotation of 'bad' that the prefix 'ant' has. Good and bad are irrelevant in this regard.

These orders were sufficient, I well knew, to insure their immediate disappearance, one and all, as soon as my back was turned.
