Which excerpt from "The Cask of Amontillado" presents the reader with the initial conflict of the story? "I have my doubts," I r

eplied; "and I was silly enough to pay the full Amontillado price without consulting you in the matter. You were not to be found, and I was fearful of losing a bargain." The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge. He had a weak point --this Fortunato --although in other regards he was a man to be respected and even feared. He prided himself on his connoisseurship in wine. "The nitre!" I said; "see, it increases. It hangs like moss upon the vaults. We are below the river's bed. The drops of moisture trickle among the bones. Come, we will go back ere it is too late. Your cough --"

LuckyWell [14K]

In the story “The Masque of the Red Death”, a few points are outlined from the novel thus providing the details that supports the Prince´s thinking that he can escape the plague.

1. During the surge of the plague red death, while a greater part of the populated was ravaged and decimated, Prince Prospero summoned from among  his courtiers, hale and light-hearted friends that would make his period of  “deep seclusion” behind the castellated walls  of one of his chosen castles,  gay and memorable.  As the last courtier entered this castle, the iron gates were permanently welded and bolted with the use of furnaces and hammers, thus preventing anyone from entering or leaving its walls.

2. The Prince made sure that the abbey was amply provisioned and that there was no need for making supplies of provisions.

3. With these precautions, the revelers expected to bid defiance to contagion.  By this, they reasoned to be duly protected from any form of contact from the plague.

4. Since the Prince had made sure that all was provided, as it was considered a waste of time to grieve, or think, for the external world could take care of itself.  They believed to have all the luxury, food and appliance of pleasure would be enough to be relieved of the sentiments of despair and frenzy.

Read these sentences from the text.
lina2011 [118]

The answer is: The pause must be used expertly in order to be effective.  

According to Mark Twain, the pause is a significant literary element that must be used with proficient knowledge to be adequate. Because it has a subtle meaning, the pause must possess the accurate duration. Otherwise, if it is too long or too short, it is unsuccessful and the text might require a great effort for the reader.
