"The Cask of Amontillado" is a chilling tale of revenge by Edgar Allan Poe. Set during Carnival in Italy, the story follows Montresor, who seeks retribution against his acquaintance Fortunato for past insults. Montresor lures Fortunato into the catacombs under the pretense of tasting a rare wine, Amontillado. As they descend deeper into the darkness, Fortunato's drunkenness blinds him to Montresor's sinister intentions. The atmosphere shifts from festivity to a horrifying climax as Montresor reveals his true motives, leading to a macabre and unsettling conclusion. The story explores themes of pride, deception, and the dark nature of revenge. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
