Which two sentences contribute to the overall eerie mood of this excerpt from "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe?

English
1 answer:
patriot [66]3 years ago
4 0

When a person reads he/she feels a certain way driven by the words in the text, this is called mood and it has to do with word choice, imagery, and figures of speech that are used in a story. This helps create a distinct feeling for audiences. The two sentences which contribute to the overall eerie mood of this excerpt from Poe in "The Cask of Amontillado" are the two first beginning “The wine sparkled…” and "The nitre!" I said;”

By describing the environment surrounding Fortunado and Montressor as they walk down a long passage through catacombs and wine vaults, Poe sets the tone of  the scene.

Which line best paraphrases this excerpt from “When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be”?
Nonamiya [84]

The line that best paraphrases the excerpt is  A.  And when I think that I’ll never see you again, beautiful creature (...).

To paraphrase is to express the meaning of something by rewording it in a different way. Both the excerpt and option A express the same: that the poet is considering the possibility of never looking at the beautiful "creature" again.
