Superiority Theory is when you laugh at someone else’s expense. You are making fun of them because you feel superior to them.
Release Theory is you laugh to release nervous energy.
Incongruity Theory is a joke that a comedian would use. “The most common kind of joke is that in which we expect one thing and another is said; here our own disappointed expectation makes us laugh.”

Consider the line: ""My heart grew sick; it was the dampness of the catacombs that made it so."" (Paragraph 89) What insight int
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

This lines from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" provides an insight into narrator's mercilessness. Fortunato's last and soft cry of fear made Montresor's heart grow sick. Narrator's ascribing this sickness to cold weather shows that he is a biased narrator.

Explanation:

The narrator of the story "The Cask of Amontillado" speaks in first person. Since he is justifying his act of murdering one of the fellow men, his viewpoint is unbalanced. The view point is also partial because we know almost nothing about Fortunato (the antagonist - about to be murdered).

Almost all the narrative of the story is full of mercilessness, here is another example,

<em>"I continued working. I could hear him pulling at the chain, shaking  it wildly. Only a few stones remained to put in their place.  “Montresor! Ha-ha. This is a very good joke, indeed"</em>

This partial and unbalanced view point creates suspense in reader to know what would happen next.
