The Cask Of Amontillado

The Cask of Amontillado By: Edgar Allan Poe 1)How cohesive and organized is his writing? Edgar Allan Poe writes with a unique grotesque inventive style. Poe also includes a superb plot construction which hooks the reader at the very start because he sets up a situation which the fills the reader with anticipation to see what develops. In the first line of the story The Cask Of Amontillado(1846), he says, "...but when he ventured upon …

…only guess the severity of the wrong. The line is 88 and it is Montresor talking to Fortunato and he said, "You are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, as once I was." Poe slips this line in subtly, but it is a line which leaves the reader guessing if it was Fortunato who took all that away from Montresor. Other than that, Poe wrote a gripping and addicting story in The Cask Of Amontillado.
