Answer:
Poe uses the first line of the story to build suspense in the following manner:
C. Poe informs the reader that Fortunato has wronged the narrator but doesn't say specifically what Fortunato did which creates a sense of uncertainty.
Explanation:
This question is about the short story "The Cask of Amontillado," by author Edgar Allan Poe. Take a look at how the story begins:
<em>THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.</em><em> You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.</em>
<u>We get to know two things from the get-go: the narrator feels that Fortunato has offended him; and the narrator is adamant about avenging himself.</u>
<u>However, at no point does the narrator reveal what Fortunato has done. Apparently, Fortunato has injured him before. Now, it is an offense. But how can we trust this narrator if he does not reveal what happened? Maybe he is too sensitive and took things too personally. Maybe nothing happened at all- he might be insane, for all we know. We are left with this uncertainty, even though the narrator tells us we know him well. We do not. He does not offer us enough information to judge for ourselves.</u>

Answer:
The first edition of "Frankenstein" was published on 1st January, 1818.
Explanation:
Mary Shelly's famous gothic novel "Frankenstein" or "The Modern Prometheus" was first published on January 1, 1818 without an author. this anonymous publication was due to the fact that women writers were not openly accepted in those times.
This novel tells the story of a young scientist, Victor Frankenstein's creation of a monstrous being in a rather unethical manner. Though he may be unusual, he wasn't a monster initially. When he was rejected by his own creator, Victor, he started becoming more like a monster. He despised himself and hated everyone who rejected him, also people began to be repulsed by his appearance too.
Narrated from Victor's point of view, the story moved from when the created being became the master who had control over the other humans. He was responsible for the death of William, Victor's younger brother and also that of a young girl named Justine who had been accused of being William's killer. The monster approached Victor during his vacation in the mountains, admitting his actions of killing William. But he also said he has reasons and asked him to create a female for him so that he will not be alone. Everyone got their partners to be with but he is a lonely monster, shunned by everyone and with no companion, even rejected by his own creator.
Victor was eventually convinced and he started working on the new creation. But, afraid of what the monster might really do if he has a companion, Victor destroys the unfinished project. Angered by this, the monster vowed to make Victor's life hell, promising to hurt him on his wedding night. Victor was then arrested and accused for the death of his friend Henry, which of course, was the work of the monster. Some years later, he married Elizabeth. Remembering the monster's promise, he decided to send his new wife to another room, thinking the monster will come for him. But, it was his wife who would be killed instead. So, Victor vowed to hunt the monster down and made it his life mission.
