This question refers to the short story "The Cask of Amontillado", by Edgar Allan Poe. More specifically, it refers to the first paragraph, where the mentioned words can be found:
THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.
Answer and Explanation:
The speaker's word choice reveals a lot about his emotional state. He is clearly angry for having been offended by Fortunato, even though he never reveals what the offense was. He has a vengeful feeling toward his "friend", and he is also clearly determined to not only carry out his revenge, but to also remain unpunished. We can also tell that, in spite of his anger, he is able to remain cold, speaking of his murderous decision in tranquil yet decisive tone.

Answer:
Stevenson is saying that when we take a bird’s-eye view, we see everything in a grand perspective. From there, much of what we humans do seems trivial or unimportant. We feel aloof from the rest of humanity, much as Apollo felt when he looked down on humans from atop Mount Olympus. Stevenson likens the man’s Apollo-like view to the pleasure he found in the northern Scottish landscape.
Stevenson used the allusion to Apollo to say that when we look at our experiences from a new perspective, we find unexpected pleasure and experience personal growth. He assumes his readers will be familiar with Apollo and the allusion to him will help them understand his new view of this landscape.

Answer:
Jane's obsession with the Gulliver's Travels book and Bessie's song indicates the character of the narrator.
Explanation: The excerpt mentions a narrator who is presumably Jane herself who talks about Bessie who is her nursemaid and who fetches the Gulliver's Travels book for Jane which Jane loves to read very much.
Jane dreams about the places mentioned in the book and the various strange plants, animals and people which are discovered by Gulliver on his fictional voyage to the different islands.
She also pays attention to the song that Bessie sings and on her sweet voice but how the song now feels like a refrain and not a joyful song.
