Why is it even more cruel that Montresor threw his torch into the niche with Fortunato?
Alex777 [14]

Montresor lures Fortunato by telling him he has obtained a pipe of Amontillado sherry. He mentions obtaining confirmation of the pipe's contents by inviting a fellow wine aficionado, Luchesi, for a private tasting. Not one to be made better of, Fortunato goes with Montresor to the wine cellars of the latter's house, where they wander in the catacombs. Montresor keeps giving Fortunato drinks to keep him drunk, finally arriving at a niche, where Montresor tells his friend that the Amontillado is within. Fortunato enters drunk and unsuspecting, allowing Montresor to chain him to the wall.

Montresor then proceeds to wall up the niche, entombing his friend alive. Fortunato sobers up faster than anticipated, though, and pleads with Montresor. Montresor ignores him and continues, eventually walling him in completely.

Notably though, in the story, Fortunato actually comes to the realization that this is actually what Montresor wants. Montresor doesn't want to murder Fortunato as much as he wants the psychological satisfaction of seeing and hearing him squirm as it dawns on him that he is going to die a slow death and he was so easily tricked into walking into this situation, and mocking him for it. In a final act of defiance, Fortunato refuses to play along at the end, and replaces his panic with cold silence. This silence catches Montresor off-balance, and its evident from narration that he was very confused and annoyed at being robbed of the chance to gloat properly, and even begins to feel "sick at heart" about what he is doing, because the sudden silence gives him no recourse but to actually consider the gravity of the act he is about to carry out. And even those fifty years later, there are still clear hints of Montresor being somewhat bitter about the fact Fortunato managed to outwit him at the end by taking all the fun out of his revenge.

Hope this helps :)

Best comparison of two poems "the taxi" and "where have you gone"
Tanya [424]
The mention of light in both of these poems show how the protagonists' feel on the object in the story leaving. They are trying to hide, to not be found. Lines 28 to 29 in w<span>here have you gone and 8 to 10 in t</span><span>he taxi </span>both show how disconnected they now feel to this other person/object.

Descriptive essay the best villain
Grace [21]

The best villain is probably Thanos. His motives are toward universal peace he just went about it wrong. World peace if sometihng that we want to attain. Studies have shown that their is enough food in the world to feed every one. That there is enough for every one. So killing half the population is not the answer. Thanos didn't see another way. And he was tired of seeing the universe deteriorate. So i think he is the best villain.
