The Cask of Amontillado is about two guys, Fortunato and Montresor. Montresor says that Fortunato insulted him but he doesn't say how. He says he will get his revenge, and he does. During a carnival, Montresor sees Fortunato and takes advantage of the fact that Fortunato is a little drunk (he likes his wine). Montresor tells him he has a some type of wine and he wants Fortunato to give him his opinion of it. Montresor takes him to his house  and down to the wine cellars and Fortuanto offers him wine, so he gets even more drunk. He also has a cough and its getting worse because of the mold thats down there. Then they go into the catacombs and eventually they reach a dead end and Montresor chains him up and builds a wall to trap him in there. Fortunato screams and shakes the chains and thinks it's all a joke. Montresor leaves him there to die. I have always thought that Poe was a pyscho because he always wrote about crazy things like killing people and stuff. Maybe he did some of the stuff he wrote about and was never caught for it.
