Well, just the fact that the characters are all dressed up for a masquerade party, already adds to the eerie mood. But what really seals the coffin is when Montressor lures Fortunato into the catacombs, and then ties him up. You really get the whole creepo-vibe, when Montressor starts to seal up the "tomb". Hope this helps you a lot.

Answer:

Explanation:

The setting of a story consists of time frame in which the story takes place. It is pure irony that this story is happening in a Carnival, a cheerful, celebratory time of the year in Italy. The location of the carnival season is portrayed as a disordered, confused atmosphere which also associates with the main characters’ complex relationship. As the characters travel through the streets of the carnival to the all-time low of Montresor’s underground cemetery, the atmosphere of the story becomes more gloomy and threatening. It is ironic that the brightly clothed Fortunato is taken from the celebrations, their journey beneath the palazzo also emblematically represents Montresor’s descent into darkness and shove into the darkness of Montresor’s domes to meet his death. The poor quality of the air, which can hardly even keep a torch’s flame burning; this foretells Fortunato’s death as a dying flame. This concealed location is picture-perfect setting for a manslaughter.

Why was it so difficult to get Malala out of Pakistan?

Daniel [21]

Answer: Political tension

Explanation:

Malala Yousafzai was shot by Taliban hitmen in response to her activism and constantly speaking out against the Taliban. When she got to a Pakistani hospital, the doctor informed the government that they could not take care of her in Pakistan.

The government suggested England however they could not formally request that England take her because that would mean admitting that they could not take care of their own. They also did not want the Americans involved due to the recent Bin Laden raid that was done without the Pakistanis being informed.

In the end the United Arab Emirates offered to help which was more acceptable because they are a Muslim country.
