On His Being Arrived to the Age of Twenty-three by John Milton How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth, Stolen on his wing

my three and twentieth year! My hasting days fly on with full career, But my late spring no bud or blossom shew'th. Perhaps my semblance might deceive the truth, That I to manhood am arrived so near, And inward ripeness doth much less appear, That some more timely-happy spirits indu'th. Yet be it less or more, or soon or slow, It shall be still in strictest measure even To that same lot, however mean or high, Toward which Time leads me, and the will of Heaven. All is, if I have grace to use it so, As ever in my great Task-master's eye.

how does the author explain the people to make them seem likre real people in THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO?
Volgvan
The author wants the reader to feel empathy, or at least understand him. He says:  “You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat.” <span>The author talks extremely negative towards Fortunato. This suggests he is trying to persuade us to feel the same way. When he says that he did him wrong it clearly shows how evil his plan is. So the reader throughout the story actually believes that Fortunato is bad. It's only until we get to the vault scene that you realize maybe Montressor is just psychotic</span>
