Answer:

The literary element that Fortunate represents is Irony.

Explanation:

In Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado", story is told by a narrator by the name Montressor who feels aggrieved and insulted by Fortunate and carefully plans his revenge.

Montressor plans to have his revenge on the evening of a carnival and lures Fortunate into the vault under the guise of tasting the rare Amontillado wine and getting his expert opinion.

Montressor disguises himself so he won't be discovered and off they went.

Ironically, when Fortunate is too drunk to continue on the journey, Montressor gives him a sip of Médoc wine to ward off the cold, thereby helping to keep him alive, just for him to bury him alive in the vault.

As Fortunate drinks the Médoc, he toasts to Montressor's buried ancestors, and Montressor toasts to Fortunate's "long life".

These two toasts are in complete irony because of what was about to happen, Montressor was about to bury Fortunate with his ancestors and the wish of long life was also irony because he would be buried alive only a few moments later.

Answer:

A paragraph  is a self-contained unit of discourse in writing dealing with a particular point or idea. A paragraph consists of one or more sentences. The Greek ' evolved into the pilcrow, which in English manuscripts in the Middle Ages can be seen inserted inline between sentences. The hedera leaf  has also been used in the same way.

In ancient manuscripts, another means to divide sentences into paragraphs was a line break  followed by an initial at the beginning of the next paragraph. An initial is an oversized capital letter, sometimes outdented beyond the margin of the text. This style can be seen, for example, in the original Old English manuscript of Beowulf. Outdenting is still used in English typography, though not commonly. Bringhurst explains as follows:

The function of a paragraph is to mark a pause, setting the paragraph apart from what precedes it. If a paragraph is preceded by a title or subhead, the indent is superfluous and can therefore be omitted. An em space is the most commonly used paragraph indent.

When referencing a paragraph, typographic symbol may be used: "See § Background".
