THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO

Discussion Questions for homework

1) Compare and contrast Montresor and General Zaroff: how they think, how they view the world, how they view others, how they view themselves.
2) Why does Montresor feel justified in carrying out his plan against Fortunato?
3) Which character traits make Fortunato such an easy prey for Montresor (needs to be more than just his “connoisseurship in wine”.
4) In what ways are Montresor and Fortunato alike? How are they different?
5) List an irony of situation, a verbal irony, and a dramatic irony found in "The Cask of Amontillado".
