"The Cast of Amontillado"

                                                     
   The story that had intrigued me the most was "The Cast of Amontillado", by Edgar Allan Poe. In my opinion, this short story was extremely interesting becuase of Edgar's use of suspense and tone. Through the use of tone and suspense Edgar, throughout the entire story, was able to keep the reader constantly wondering what will happen to Fortunato. He made the tone of the story dark and uneased, letting the audience know that something bad is going to happen. Edgar Allan Poe, in being known as the master of suspense, never lets the reader know what Montressor is thinking or what he wants to do in the name of revenge against Fortunato. "The Cast of Amontillado" not only puts extreme stress on the situation but also on the reader. The psychological tournament and the unease setting making the situation dark and suspenseful is what made readers love Edgar Allan Poe's work.
