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

patriot [66]3 years ago

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.

I'd say that what Twain uses to convey how ridiculous the king looked on the second night of the show is satire.
Satire is <span>the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.</span>
