What does Montresor mean when he says 'punish with impunity' in 'The Cask of Amontillado'?
It means that he wants to kill Fortunato without going to prison or having anyone find out what he did even years later. This is why he chose Carnival time because everyone knew Fortunato was a drunk and would assume that he fell into a body of water and drowned. His body would have then been swept out to sea and never be found. It was the perfect alibi since his servants would swear that they were in the house all night to keep from being fired. No one would suspect him because he was careful to act like Fortunato's friend while secretly hating him. He also wanted Fortunato to know for certain that he was going to die and not be able to do anything about it.
