Answer:

Fortunato's dress foreshadows his being a fool or buffoon.

Explanation:

In the short story "The Cask of Amontillado", Edgar Allen Poe tells us about Montresor and his desire to avenge a thousand insults that his friend Fortunato had inflicted him with. The story deals with themes of deception, flattery, appearance and reality, revenge, etc.

In the given excerpt from the story, the narrator Montresor describes the clothing worn by Fortunato that carnival night. He states <em>"[Fortunato] wore motley . . . had on a tight-fitting parti-striped dress, and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells."</em> The motley is a multi-colored suit worn by clowns, which is a reference to the character of Fortunato. This dress foreshadows Fortunato to be a fool or buffoon.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Write a thesis statement based on your ideas about how Greg changes by the end of the story.
Sphinxa [80]
Hi there! I have no clue which Greg you're referring to, but I can give you some points on a thesis statement.

As you hopefully know, a thesis statement gives the reader a main idea of what the body paragraphs will be about. It doesn't have to be long-- usually it's one sentence and just gets straight to the point.

Here's a starter;

By the end of "(title of the story)", Greg changes into a (what he changed into) because of (idea of 1st paragraph), (idea of 2nd paragraph), and (idea of 3rd paragraph).

Hope I helped!
