"The Cask of Amontillado" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in the November 1846 issue of Godey's Lady's Book.
The story is set in an unnamed Italian city at carnival time in an unspecified year, and is about a man taking fatal revenge on a friend who, he believes, has insulted him. Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative revolves around a person being buried alive—in this case, by immurement. As in "The Black Cat" and "The Tell-Tale Heart", Poe conveys the story from the murderer's perspective.

Answer:
To Gatsby, Daisy represents the paragon of perfection—she has the aura of charm, wealth, sophistication, grace, and aristocracy that he longed for as a child in North Dakota and that first attracted him to her. In reality, however, Daisy falls far short of Gatsby’s ideals. She is beautiful and charming, but also fickle, shallow, bored, and sardonic. Nick characterizes her as a careless person who smashes things up and then retreats behind her money. Daisy proves her real nature when she chooses Tom over Gatsby in Chapter 7, then allows Gatsby to take the blame for killing Myrtle Wilson even though she herself was driving the car. Finally, rather than attend Gatsby’s funeral, Daisy and Tom move away, leaving no forwarding address.
So in essence, he was sort of disappointed.

Answer and Explanation:
<u>In the short story "The Most Dangerous Game", the character Zaroff is the one who says "That's the trouble with these sailors; they have dull brains to begin with, and they do not know how to get about in the woods. They do excessively stupid and obvious things. It's most annoying." The reason why general Zaroff says the words is because, the previous night, he had been hunting a man, a sailor. That man was easily caught and killed, which made the whole deal boring for Zaroff.</u>
Those lines were taken from a conversation between the general and another hunter, Rainsford, the main character. Zaroff has invited Rainsford to hunt with him, but Rainsford refuses to kill men. The general does not see what he does as murder. He's grown bored of killing animals incapable of reasoning, which is why he has decided to kill other human beings. He likes the challenge.
