Short Story
Horror
"The Cask of Amontillado" is told by an unreliable first-person narrator.
"The Cask of Amontillado" is written in the past tense.
"The Cask of Amontillado" refers to a nonexistent container of wine the narrator uses to lure a rival wine expert into a crypt so the narrator can kill him. The name Amontillado sounds similar to the Spanish verb amontonar, which means "to pile up," like Montresor did with a stack of bricks at the story's climax.
