Montresor never divulges what offense Fortunato has done to him. Fortunato did not do anything to insult Montresor. The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged …. I think that because the way that the story is written he is trying to sound even more heroic than he really was.
That is why I think that he is telling the story to a group of people that believe he is a hero. I think he is telling the story to everyone, trying to tell how he feels about losing his friend. He wanted to let everyone know he was okay with what he did. If he didn't want to let everyone know then he wouldn't have told the story. I suppose that Montresor, the author, is telling the story to type of heavenly or higher being such as God or the devil.
In the story, Montresor says in the beginning, "You, who so well know the nature of my soul He could be confessing his wrongdoing to God, or telling the devil what he has done to "impress" him in a way for doing such an offense.
He could also be confessing it to anyone, just to write and tell someone about his past, or to confess it to God for what he has done wrong. We cannot be for certain.
I believe that Montresor wrote this story to a greater authority such as God. Abbie wrote: "I suppose that Montresor, the author, is telling the story to type of heavenly or higher being such as God or the devil.
In the story, Montresor says in the beginning, "You, who so well know the na I never really thought of it that way. I suppose that Montresor is telling this story to confess to heaven. In the beginning of the story, Poe's words, "You, who so well know the nature of my soul," is an example because the only person who could "know the nature of my soul" would be God, or speaking of the heaven.
Another example is how the whole story sounds kind of like a confession, confessing of the thing he's done. At the end of the story it says "Against the new masonry I re-erected the old rampart of bones. For the half of a century, no mortal has disturbed them. In pace requiescat! Rest in peace. Therefore Montresor is telling this story to confess to God. Montresor is telling the story to his noble family because he regrets it.
In the story it said he had a great and numerous family with catacombs. I think that he had a big family so that would make him a noble man. If he was a noble man than he would have a long line of family. If he told his noble family that does not know him, they would not do anything against him. I think he regretted that he did what he did that is why he told his family When he told this i think he was telling it to his noble family. I think it is fortunato telling the story.
I think that ole dude is telling the story to himself and he because he gave all the details that happened that night,well maybe not all,who knows,but based on my he's trying to prove a point, as in no moral has. I think Montresor is telling his story to a relative or a family member or even a friend of his might be good at keeping his secrets.
I think this because he told every detail about on what could have happen to Fortunato. I think Montresor is telling his doctor because he said in the story " My heart grew sick; it was the dampness of the catacombs that made it so. So i think he got sick from the catacombs and the doctor is asking him questions about how he thinks he got sick.
In the beginning of the story he says " you, who so well know the nature of my soul" Usually the doctor knows everything about your body and other stuff like that so I'm guessing that the doctor is the one he is talking to. The Montresor is telling his family because he is getting old and wants to confess his wrong doings in life.
In the beginning, the Montresor says that he was upset at Fortunato and was seeking revenge. He wanted to prove he shouldn't be messed with.
I think Montresor wants his family to truly know him and that is why he is telling him his deepest secret. I think he is telling the story to a priest right next to his death bed because he is dying and he wants to confess about his crime.
One of the evidence that he is dying is in the story is how it says "For the half of a century,no mortal has disturbed them. I assume that Montresor is not speaking his story aloud to anyone, including any confessor. The story looks like something that was written out on paper.
There are too many details which a person speaking directly to another person would not be likely to include, especially fifty years after the fact. Montresor is telling the story about somebody that is in his family because it says " the thousand injuries of fortunato i had borne as i best could, but when he ventured upon insult i vowed revenge. I think he is telling story to the priest and telling this story to confess before he dies.
I think Montresor is telling god what he did because he said who so well know the nature of my soul,will not suppose, at length i would be avenged. I suppose Montresor is telling the story to Jesus, prior to being judged at the Great White Throne,for example, he tells us about his so-called "friend", Fortunato, who "prided himself on his expertise with wine. According to Christians, people are judged by their works on earth. Montresor is being judged as guilty since he killed an innocent person and is seperated from Christ for eternity.
I think he's talking to Jesus because he's trying to persuade Jesus that he deserves to be in Heaven for eternity. I think this because he tells them every single detail and he also says, "For the half of a century, no mortal has disturbed them". I used this as my evidence because I think he's trying to prove a point, as in no mortal has disturbed the "work" that he has done and implying that no mortal can disturb his "work" and that not even the cops can interfere.
The person I think Montesor is talking to is he might be talking to God or a person he loves like his girlfriend or wife. Any family he may have had at one time would be among the skeletons lining the walls of the catacombs below his palazzo. Montresor is not a Mason, but he is going to be a mason. This is the irony that Poe has utilized. Fortunato is clearly inebriated during his interactions with Montresor, which affects his judgment and causes him to let his guard down.
Yes, Montresor achieves exactly the kind of revenge he wants. He explains what he wants in the opening paragraph of the story, and by the end of the story he appears to be fully satisfied with what he has done.
