English

Answer and Explanation:

"The Cask of Amontillado" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. The narrator and main character is Montresor, who tells readers of his vicious revenge against his friend Fortunato.

It is interesting to notice that the general mood of the story is sinister, ominous. All the time, due to the author's use of word choice and imagery, while he leads us down the catacombs with the characters, we have this foreboding feeling. We know something bad and scary will happen. <u>However, for a brief moment at the beginning of the story, the mood is one of enjoyment, of fun. That is because Montresor goes out to meet with Fortunato during a Carnival celebration. The streets are filled with people drinking, dancing, and smiling. It is important to pay attention to Montresor, though, for his resolution does not waver for a second. Even amidst the celebration, even upon finding happy and ignorant Fortunato, Montresor does not let go of his desire for vengeance.</u>

She should have died hereafter; There would have been a time for such a word. To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,Creeps in
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Signifying <u>nothing</u>.

Explanation:

These lines are a quote from the tragedy play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare. Taken from Act V scene v, these words are said by Macbeth after he hears of the death of his wife, lady Macbeth.

Macbeth at first seemed to be shaken with the news brought by Seyton that "<em>the queen, my lord, is dead</em>." But then, Macbeth began talking of the inevitability of death for everyone. He accepts that "<em>she should have died hereafter</em>", and that "<em>Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player/ That struts and frets his hour upon the stage/ And then is heard no more. It is a tale/ Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury/ Signifying nothing.</em>" This could also be taken as his acceptance of the meaninglessness and the futility of human life, which also indirectly made his act of murdering King Duncan an insignificant act. He is in a way, justifying his murderous acts and seems to imply their insignificance. After all, life is just a shadow cast by a brief candle.
