How does the characterization of Fortunato<br> affect the plot of the story?
jonny [76]

Answer:

The characterization of Fortunato speaks a lot about his personality. He is a drunkard and loves to wear jester-clothes. This characterization has its affects as because of his drunkardness, Montresor was able to lure him.

Explanation:

'The Cask of Amontillado' is a short Gothic story written by Edgar Allan Poe.

Fortunato is another main character in the story and the character on whom Montressor avenge himself. He's been described by Montressor in the story.

He is a 'wine-expert' which characterizes him as a drunkard. It was due to his addiction towards wine because of which he was caught in Montressor'ss trap for his own death. Montressor, cleverly, approaches Fortunato to help him to tasting of a rare wine which Montressor was able to get through a pipe.

Another characterization of Fortunato was his sense of dressing, he loves wearing jester-clothes.. When Montressor met him at carnival he was wearing a motley jester. His sense of wearing reveals that he is a 'funny fellow.' Even at the beginning of the story, Montressor states that Fortunato has <em>'inflcted him with thousand injuries.'</em>

These characterization of Fortunato helps the plot of the story reach it's conclusion, death of Fortunato. If he would not have been addicted to wine, Montressor would not have been able to lure him into his death trap. If he would not have been insensitive, he would not have 'caused Montressor thousand injuries which led Montressor to avenge on him.
