We use personal pronouns in place of noun phrases. We often use them to refer back to people and things that we have already identified (underlined):

Peter complained to the chef about the meal. She wasn’t very helpful so he spoke to the manager. (she = the chef, he = Peter)

A:Where’s the knife? I can’t find it.B:It’s in the drawer. (it = the knife)

Personal pronouns show person and number. He, she, him and her show gender. They have different subject and object forms (except you, it and one which have only one form):

Pronouns function as noun phrases in place of nouns, so instead of writing 'Sarah' you'd replace it with 'she' rather than repeating the name again and again. You'd also replace, for example, 'Sarah and Adam' with 'they,' 'Adam' with 'he', etc.

How does the setting of “The Cask of Amontillado” affect the impact of the story overall?

Eduardwww [97]

The story is set largely in catacombs underneath Montresor's home in Italy. The setting contributes significantly to the horror of the story. It is dark, cold, and damp in the catacombs. Because catacombs are burial vaults, Montresor and Fortunato pass by piles of bones, the remains of dead bodies.
