The climax of "The Cask of Amontillado" comes when Montresor walls Fortunato up in a niche in the wall of the catacombs. Fortunato's drunkeness is beginning to wear off, and he realizes Montresor's intent. When he moans, he is no longer in a drunken stupor, but acknowledging his fate. As Montresor places the last brick in the wall, he thrusts a torch behind the wall and the only response was the jingling of bells from Fortunato's costume. At this point, Fortunato is dead (possibly from a heart attack from the shock), and there is no going back for Montresor.

The climax occurs when Montresor surprises Fortunato in the niche by chaining him to the wall. At that point the suspense of whether Montresor will be successful in gaining his revenge is all but settled, since Fortunato is now helpless to prevent Montressor from killing him in any way Montresor chooses. The fact that Montresor chooses to wall Fortunato in is a detail wold be considered part of the falling action of the story.

What is the denouement of 'The Cask of Amontillado'?
The resolution in 'The Cask of Amontillado' occurs when Montresor has finished bricking up the niche in which Fortunato is chained and leaves with the salutation "In pace resquiescat." This is where the conflict between Montresor and Fortunato is settled for good and it is clear that Montresor has achieved his plan to exact the perfect revenge on Fortunato.
How does Montresor trap Fortunato in the story The Cask of Amontillado?
Not knowing what Fortunato did to Montresor heightens the horror of the story because the reader is never certain if Fortunato ever did anything wrong against Montresor that was deserving of such revenge. If Fortunato's so-called injuries and insults had been laid out for the reader to see, the reader would either sympathize with Montresor or with Fortunato depending on the reader's own point of view. Not knowing what was ever done, in deed if anything had even been done, leaves every reader wondering if Fortunato's death is just a terrible mistake by a madman.
What is the falling action and resolution of The Cask of Amontillado?
It seems to me that the rising action would be when Montresor talks about amontillado that he got and luchesi in front of Fortunato which immediately makes Fortunato want to check it out because he thinks of himself as a wine connoisseur and does not want to miss out. What the reader and Montresor knows that Fortunato does not is that its all a trick to get Fortunato killed. E.B.
