English
1 answer:
ohaa [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

C. He is arrogant.

Explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado," tells the story of how the narrator Montresor got his revenge on the insults he had endured at the hands of his friend Fortunato. And through careful planning and deceit, Montresor succeeded in luring Fortunato to his death.

Throughout the story, we see Montresor admitting that Fortunato is the culprit of his present 'avenging mind'. And even though Fortunato seemed unaware of what was happening, Montresor admits that <em>"he was a man to be respected and even feared."</em> But one thing is sure of Fortunato- that he is arrogant, especially in his knowledge of wines and the like. Fortunato <em>"prided himself on his connoisseurship in wine"</em>, and insisted that <em>"Luchresi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry",</em> thus seemingly emphasizing his expertise in the subject. And it was just how Montresor had planned to be, to play with his pride in wines and thus, follows the rest of the plot.

How does the stranger’s interaction with Elisa at her garden differ from Henry’s interaction with her at her garden?
Serjik [45]
A long exposition differs from a typical stage direction because a stage direction is usually brief. An exposition, however, goes into more detail. A stage direction also just usually tells the setting or where or what the character is doing, or how the stage looks. An exposition shows history and goes full out on the setting.

How does a child develop an inferiority complex?
REY [17]

Negative remarks, critiques, and unjustified expectations we have of a child are the first signs of an inferiority complex or poor self-esteem.

  • They develop into the kid's internal voice. Children who avoid interacting with classmates are showing signs of poor self-esteem. Children start to develop sentiments of inferiority as they become increasingly conscious of their flaws and compare themselves to others; these beliefs then inspire them and direct their behavior.
  • Being harassed or taunted for being different from classmates can also result in feelings of inferiority, the author adds. "It can also result from receiving negative feedback or being informed they are weak or lacking in some way. When this message persists, it may make one feel inadequate."

Thus this is how a child develop an inferiority complex.
