Today we are going to "The Cask of Amontillado" questions. Take notes on Dialect and Characterization, discuss the upcoming quiz on "Literary Terms", and finally write the following:
JOURNAL
Today you will write the sequel to “The Cask of Amontillado”. It is fifty years after Montressor
has buried Fortunato. He is telling his story to someone, but who? You must decide who he is telling his story t
o and why? You can take any slant on the story that you like. Perhaps Fortunato escaped? Someone went l
ooking for him and found him? Perhaps Montressor is confessing to a priest? Perhaps the person who
Montressor is confessing/bragging to doesn’t quite like the idea of burying someone alive? Perhaps one of
Fortunato’s relatives is in the audience. Whatever you do, it must be at least a page long, and it must use
details and imagery, one type of irony, a symbol, a foreshadow or two, and have a clear setting.
