An unreliable narrator is one we cannot trust completely for various reasons. First of all, this type of a narrator may say one thing at one point, and then something completely different at another, which makes us not trust his words. An unreliable narrator usually shows weird behavior towards themselves and others, which is the case with Montresor. He is treating Fortunado quite awfully, locking him inside a vault due to his mental instability.
When the author, Edgar Allan Poe, uses the technique of the unreliable narrator to portray his protagonist, he is only emphasizing his mental instability and giving us reasons not to trust the narrator and to question his every move.

Walt Whitman was a poet during the 1800's, who later in America's modern times became popular for his unique style of poetry. Whitman thought that poetry should be spoken in the "language of ordinary men." His use of the vernacular and vocabulary was unusual and unique for poets of his time period. His poems were most often times about nature and humanity. His poems also helped shed light on America's issues as it began to grow as a country. Sadly Walt Whitman wasn't given full credit for his unique and influential style of writing until after he had passed away.
