The question above is related to "The Cask of Amontillado," a short story written by <em>Edgar Allan Poe</em>.
The <u>main character</u> in this story is "Montressor" because the story centers on him. As a primary character, Montressor can be found in the story's <u>many different scenes</u>. He is the protagonist in the story.
On the other hand, "Fortunato," is the secondary character because he acts as Montressor's victim. <em>Secondary characters</em> are essential in the story because their existence complete the story. Without Fortunato, Montressor will have no victim. As a victim,<u> Fortunato will be sympathized by the readers</u> but not that much admired just like the main character.
