Detailed explanation-1: -His use of dialogue can be found in “The Cask of Amontillado” when he writes; “Nitre?” he asked, at length. “Nitre, ” I replied. “How long have you had that cough?” (Poe 43-44). This use of dialogue shows that Poe uses it to add detail about how the Montresor was trying to convince Nitre that he was sick.
Detailed explanation-2: -Luchesi was a connoisseur of wine. Montresor lured Fortunato into the catacombs by saying that he could always get Luchesi to taste the Amontillado instead of Fortunato. Montresor repeatedly mentions Luchesi to make sure that Fortunato comes into the catacombs with him.
Detailed explanation-3: -The plot summary of ‘’The Cask of Amontillado” is about revenge, deceit, and murder, as Montresor tricks a drunk Fortunato by trapping him inside an ancient catacomb. Poe’s story uses irony incredibly well in the elements of his characters and setting.
