This story from Edgar Allan Poe is pretty much talking about revenge.There is a guy named Montressor who wants his revenge on Fortunato.The story doesn't specify why he is angry and wants revenge on Fortunato.He is plotting to murder Fortunato during a carnival when the man is drunk,dizzy,and wearing a jesters motley.A jesters motley is a costume of a joker or a clown.Montressor tells Fortunato that he has a pipe of Amontillado,a rare and valuable sherry wine.Fortunato gets hooked and goes with him to the wine cellars of the pallazo where they wander into the catacombs.While they were down there Montressor asks Fortunato if he wants De Grave,a wine,he says "yes." So while heading down stairs where no one can hear Fortunato scream,both are getting drunk.
They come to a niche,a tomb with a half-dome heading,tells Fortunato that within lies the rare wine Amontillado.As he enters Montresor quickly chains him to the walls.Fortunato recovers from his drunken state faster than Montressor,he anticipated he can shake off the chains and escape but cant.So he screams for help but since they are far down below no one can hear him.Montressor laughs while he screams for help.Montressor starts to wall up the niche entombing Fortunato alive.As Montressor finishes his last stones Fortunato wails "For the love of god,Montressor!"Montresor replies "Yes,for the love of God!"He listens for a reply but can only hear the jesters motley bells ringing.As he places the last stone he throws a torch through the gap.
