Explanation: In this excerpt from "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe, <u><em>the words that the author uses to evoke the mood of the story are "retribution" and "avenger"</em></u>. In this excerpt, the narrator states that he has suffered injuries and insults from Fortunato. Montresor wants to give Fortunato retribution for those horrible deeds and seeks revenge. Disguised in a black mask he takes Fortunato to the wine vault with the promise of tasting Amontillado, a kind of sherry. There he is going to accomplish his revenge.
"Cinderella, The Legend" fits the Protestant ethic because the moral principle in this fairy tale is that good fortune can be merited. The story shows sibling rivalries and in some way sex-role stereotyping. It is an interesting fable about socialization. In Cinderella, the author conveys the idea that virtue will be rewarded whereas evil will be punished.
