Reflexion#4 The Perfect Short Story
The Cask of Amontillado is one the most proclaimed stories of all time. Edgar Allen Poe is a true genius of the literary art he has created a perfect but perplexed short story. This story may only be only four pages but is filled of irony in which has made this one story a most read type of story. Story contain a lot of crude topic for example the fact that there was revenge, murder, and if not mistaken alcoholism. The fact that this story is based on a different time or better said a half century ago people philosophy were different, back then people had different priority and its different morality. The truth is that known in day it takes more than just a simple insult to kill a person that you consider a friend. The facts are that not only he wanted him dead he wanted him to die by his hands. The scary thing is that Fortunato didn’t expect that his life was going to end by his only vise in life wine and by saying that he did not expect that his sol called friend would have delivered him to his demise; that was a real irony of this short story. Merseto was a Manson and the fact that his sign/arm represents a snake biting on a shoe while the man stomped on the snake ironically represents his personality. Considering that Fortunato insulted Merseto took his revenge by killing the one that hurt his ego. This story contains a lot of different view on how to interpret the end and why is he telling us the reader what happened. I consider this story the bragging of a cruel and un just man how could not take an insult.
