Why did montresor wait 50 years to say why he killed fortunato?
Montresor's motive, as a character in the story, for telling of this event is not made clear. Some critics postulated that he is confessing his crime to a friend or even a priest, but there is nothing in the story itself to prove this. As a literary device, however, the use of the 'flashback' manner of telling a story can be effective to bring out the character's feeling and perception of the events in the story. For one thing, the only way the reader is assured that Montresor has exacted the perfect revenge is by a flashback. Montresor states in the opening that a wrong is not avenged unless the avenger is not caught and the person who has committed the offense knows he is paying for it now. If the story took place in present time, the reader would never know whether Fortunato somehow escaped his fate or whether Montresor got away with it. But, with Montresor telling the story fifty years later and confirming that the wall behind which Fortunato now rests has been undisturbed for half a century, it is clear that Fortunato is dead and that Montresor got away with it.

What is irony in 'The Cask of Amontillado'?
Fortunato is ironic himself, because he believes himself to be knowledgeable about wine, yet he is dressed in a Fool's costume for the festival and ultimately Montresor uses Fortunato's pride and vanity of such knowledge to fool him into going into the cellar to his death. Fortunato's name itself is a bit of irony, since it means 'fortunate one' in Italian, however once he is chained to the cellar wall, he meets a most unfortunate end. Fortunato is a member of the sect, Freemasons. In the catacombs Montresor says that he, too is a "mason." Fortunato asks Montresor for the secret sign known by the Freemasons and Montresor produces a trowel. These are ironic because Montresor will do the work of a "mason" using the trowel to entomb Fortunato behind a brick wall. While in the catacombs Fortunato coughs due to the dankness of the passageway. Montresor suggests the they leave for the sake of Fortunato's health. Fortunato refuse saying he will not die of a cough. Montresor agrees. The irony is that Montressor knows exactly what will kill Fortunato and how soon it will be. Another touch of irony is that in the catacombs, Fortunato toasts the many people buried in the catacombs, little knowing that he is shortly to be one of them. In return to Fortunato's toast to those buried in the catacombs, Montresor drinks to Fortunato's long life, which has but a few hours left.
