In "The Cask of Amontillado", Edgar Allan Poe chooses to dress Fortunato's character as a clown, a jester, during the carnival celebrations. Fortunato is wearing this costume while he is out drinking and enjoying the carnival. The author choose the clown costume to use it as a symbolism of the character's foolishness, one that can be associated with clowns.

At the same time, the fact that Fortunato is wearing a clown costume while acting like one, helps to reinforce the concept of why Montressor is going to take advantage of Fortunato's character.

Not all Europeans supported slavery. Many decent people spoke out against it. But they were unable to stop slavery for centuries
finlep [7]

Answer:

No, it definitely was not pure racism.

Explanation:

While individuals who have pure hatred and racist views against other groups of people have always existed, during the centuries that slavery existed, not everyone who owned slaves or supported slavery justified their position on the basis of racist arguments.

Very often, these arguments in favor of racism were made from an economic point of view. They justified slavery because slavery was fundamental for their economic well-being. Some people even justified slavery under supposedly moral, ethical, or religious reasons, arguing that slaves were better off under the control of their owners, or that some religious scripture justified slavery.
