1) Compare and contrast Montresor and General Zaroff: how they think, how they view the world, how they view others, how they view themselves, the places they live, how they act—in essence compare their emotional, mental, and physical existences.
2) Why does Montresor feel justified in carrying out his plan against Fortunato?
3) Which character traits make Fortunato such an easy prey for Montresor (needs to be more than just his “connoisseurship in wine”.
4) In what ways are Montresor and Fortunato alike? How are they different?
5) Write a monologue in the voice of Fortunato retelling the story from his point of view. Be prepared to perform for the class.
Are we supposed to act this out???
