Answer and Explanation:

In Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado," the main character Montresor is luring his friend Fortunato to the catacombs under his home. His intention is to get revenge after being offended by Fortunato.

<u>To lure him, Montresor uses Fortunato's own pride against him. He lies by telling Fortunato he will call someone else to check if he bought real Amontillado. Fortunato is quite an arrogant wine connoisseur, so he makes a point of going himself.</u>

<u>That reveals a few things about Montresor. We can tell he is intelligent and manipulative. He used his knowledge of his friend's personality to deceive him. He is also quite a good actor, so to speak, since Fortunato was a bit suspicious at first, but Montresor's behavior soon dissipated his doubts.</u>

denpristay [2]

Answer:Melchizedek and the king of Sodom presented a marked contrast as they both descended into the king's dale in Genesis 14:17-18. Melchizedek was a mature believer; he was a king and a priest. He went down to give Abram communion and to help Abram keep his eyes firmly fixed on the Most High God, the possessor of heaven and earth, the source of his blessings. The king of Sodom, on the other hand, was no longer a king. His kingdom had been taken from him by force. As a man, he was clever and evil. He went down to ambush Abram, to rob him of the joy of God's grace and deliverance, to tempt him with the loot he had brought back. He ordered Abram to give him the people, for whom Abram could have demanded a ransom. He offered to let Abram keep the plunder, which would have made Abram the richest man in the world. His aim was to get Abram's eyes off the source and onto the possessions.
