Essay On The Cask Of Amontillado

It was one of the best events I have got a chance to experience in my life. Carnival in small Italian city with plenty of people. I have put nice and elegant clothes on in order to attract people’s attention and have an amazing night. I felt a bit drunk and dizzy, when I got to the celebration. There were plenty of food and free drinks, people were enjoying themselves dancing and talking.
I also got a chance to meet my old friend Montresor there. I was astonished and felt guilty at the same time. I still could not forget the things I have done to him, which made me feel even worse. Surprisingly, he came up instead to greet me, and invited me to have a couple of drinks at his house. I was about to experience one of the most experience and rare wine, which was called Amontillado. Even though I was drunk I couldn’t refuse his offer. That night Montresor had a set plan and asked the workers to leave the house, as he did not have any intentions to stay at home.
Once we got to his house we went down to his basement, where he kept the wine. I remember those long walls covered with moss and nitre and the smell, which horrified. I started coughing, but the desire to try the wine could not stop me. It was hard for me to breathe and I did not realize that I was trapped and deceived.
Montresor offered me to go back, but I refused. I was excited and wanted to try that wine. I could feel the irony in my `friend’s` voice and satisfaction in his eyes, which clearly expressed the revenge for what I have done to him. Few minutes later I found myself chained to the wall, at first I thought it was a silly joke, but then I realized that he was sealing up the wall, I started to panic and I was really scared because I couldn’t move at all.
When I looked at his face he had an evil smile and fear in is eyes at the same time. Montresor was satisfied and only after that I have realized that it was a trap. When he surrounded me with last stone I was begging him to forgive me, but at that moment I realized that it was my my last journey to death.
