阿芒提拉多的酒桶（the cask of amontillado）the cask of amontilladoAllan PoeI spit on Fu Rothschild divers persecution, I try to bear in mind, but once he dare to insult me, I vowed to take revenge, you already familiar with my natural temper, but not when I talk to scare people. One day I am going to pay attention to the firm, pay off old scores; since the mind does not change, they did not expect to be out of danger. Not only did I have to give him a hard time, but I had to do something bad. Revenge is rewarded, and the enemy is not clear. Revenge does not let the enemy know who is harming him, and the enemy is not clear.Needless to say, I say, are not caused by Fu spit every act and every move is suspected Rothschild cherish evil thoughts. As usual for him to smile, but he didn't see me now is thought to give him life to smile.Fu spit this man in some ways Donato's respect, even awe, but there is a weakness. He boasted that he was an expert at wine tasting. There are few Italians who have the makings of a real expert. They are mostly used to warm, resourceful, cheating, so that Britain and Austria being rich. When it comes to paintings and jewelry, Fu spit with his compatriots as Rothschild, rhetoric, but when it comes to wine, it is the true value. I'm almost the same as he is - I'm expert at Italy wine, and I'll buy it as much as I can.In the lively carnival, one day in the evening, when I met thefriend spreading shades of dusk. He love me, because he goes full filling the wine. The guy was a clown, wearing a striped tights, a round pointed hat with bells on it. I saw him so happy that he could not hold his hand for a long time.I said to him: "dude, nice to meet you, nice to meet you. You look very well today. I got a vat of so-called Armand Tirado (a sweet wine produced by Monti Leah in Spain), but I'm not sure.""What's wrong?"" He said, "the Amontillado? A VAT? Not really! Where did you get it during the carnival?""I am not sure," I replied, "I was fool, didn't discuss with you, just as Armand Tirado price paid. I can't find you, but I'm afraid I'll miss the deal.""The amontillado!""I'm not sure.".""The amontillado!""I have to put this heart down!""The amontillado!""Look at you, I just want to go to Lukeleixi. Only he can taste wine. He'll tell me -"Luke and Armand Tirado and Shirley couldn't tell thedifference.""Some fool contended that he told you it be roughly the same eye.""Come on, let's go.".""Where is it?"""Go to your cellar.".""Man, that's not right; I'll trouble you if I don't want to bully you. Hey, I see you have something. Luke ray - "I'm okay, come on.".""Dude, that's not going to work. Do not what is cold, windy, I see you stand. The cellar is full of tide. The walls are nitrate.""Let's go. It's nothing cold.". Amontillado! You can be fooled. Speaking of Luke Reci, he even with Amontillado Sherry are not clear."He spit on the rack for my blessing Rothschild arms; I wear black silk mask, a short cloak tightly wrapped around the body, he drives me on to the mansion. A home page does not see, have the opportunity to sneak out for the holidays. I told them I didn't go home until the second morning, and I told them not to go out.I have such a command, ensure I turned immediately, all gone.I took two torches from the candlestick, one to give him afortune, and led him through several rooms, into the arcade, to the cellar, down a long staircase, and followed him with care. At last we reached the foot of the stairs,A station in Monterey shuttle palace catacombs of wetlands.My friend tottered, cross step, bells jingled."What about the cask of wine?"" He said."In front," I said, "watch out for the white spider web glowing on the wall."He turned towards me, watery eyes two drunk obscurity to stare at me."Nitrate?"" He asked at last."Nitrate," I replied, "how long have you been suffering from that cough?"""Uh, hey! Eh, hey! Eh, hey! - uh, hey! Eh, hey! Eh, hey! - uh, hey! Eh, hey! Eh, hey! - uh, hey! Eh, hey! Eh, hey! - uh, hey! Eh, hey! Eh, hey!"My poor friend couldn't answer for a long time."Nothing," he said finally."Well," I still replied, "let's go back, your body. You have to respect everyone, rich and powerful, the people; you as happyas I have. To have an unexpected misfortune that is no trivial matter. I do not care, let's go back, you are sick, I can't handle. Besides, there's Luke, ray""Don't say that," he said. "Cough is nothing. Cough never dies.". I'm not coughing.""Yes - yes," I replied. "Seriously, I didn't mean to frighten you - but I had to take precaution. A drink of wine to moisture. The doc."I said from the mud of a long line of wine to pick up a bottle, knocking out the bottleneck. "Drink," I handed him the wine.He glanced at me and raised the bottle to his lips. He sat close to the start, I nodded, bells jingled."I drink to those who sleep underground."." He said."I am for you a long life."He took my arm again, and we walked on."These cellars are really big." He said.The Monterey shuttle is Han, multi generation after generation of descendants." I answer."I forgot your house.".""A big man's feet, gold, with a piece of blue. The article fromthe snake crushes, the snake will bite a tooth heel.""Then the family?"Those who hurt me will be punished.""Wonderful!"!" He said.Drunk, his eyes sparkling, cap and jingle bells rang. I drank the wine was more beautiful Murdoch, make blind and disorderly conjectures. We walked a long bones and the size of barrel pile clip lane, deep in the tomb pit, I stopped, this time actually boldly seize the blessing of the upper arm spit rothschild."Nitrate"!" I said, "look, more and more.". Like moss, hanging on the vault. We're under the river bed. Beads of water dripping in the bones?. Let's go back as early as possible. You cough""It's nothing," he said. "Let's go down. But let me drink wine and beauty doc."I opened a pot of wine to his graves. He drank it, eyes suddenly combatively, straight smile Oh, put the bottle into a throw, that gesture, I don't understand what it meant.I looked at him in surprise. He made the gesture again, an odd gesture."You don't understand?"" He said."I don't understand." I answer."Then you're not the same.""What's wrong?"""You are not a mason. (the original is Mason, in English in Mason and Masonic solution, according to a Masonic originated in medieval times, originally a secret society, the bricklayers union to help each other for the purpose of meeting to sign contact.)" "Yes, yes," I said, "yes, yes.".""You?" Not really! Are you?""I am," I replied."Where's the code?" he said. "What about the code?""This is," I replied, and pulled out a trowel from beneath the cloak."You're kidding." he stepped back, shouting. "Let's go see the Amontillado.""Well," I said, put on the cloak of the trowel again, while stretch my arm to hold him. He leaned heavily on my arm. This continues to move forward, and then down, into a deep grave, where the air is muddy, the torch in the hand does not see the fire, there is only a flame.At the end of the grave, there was a more narrow tomb. The rows of piles of bones have been piled up to the vault, the greatcatacombs of Paris as a sample. Inside this tomb, there are three walls, still piled like this. And one side of the bones had been torn down, piled up on the ground in a mess, and accumulated into a huge mound of bones. In the wall out of the bones, but inside there is a tomb or niche, about four feet deep, three feet wide, six or seven feet high. It had made no plans to send what special use, but is the tomb pit roof pillars of the gap between the two. Behind a wall on rugged granite walls.Fu spit dark torches lift Rothschild, try to move a deep careful see, is in vain, weak fire, can't see the bottom."Go ahead," I said, "here is the head of amontillado. As for Luke, ray""He's an expert," my friend staggered along, interrupting me, and I walked right behind him. In a blink of an eye, he went to the end of the niche, and saw the rock blocked, and he was bewildered. After a moment, I had locked him on the granite wall. The wall filled with two rings, about two feet in length and distance. One ring is hung with a short iron chain, and the other hangs a big lock. Without a moment, put him to cut the chain. He panicked and forgot to rebel. I pulled out the key and got out of the alcove. "Stretch out your hand and touch the wall,"I said, "protect you to the nitrate.". It's really wet. Let me once more beg you to go back. Not going back? Then I have to leave you. But I'm going to have to take care of you first.""The amontillado!" My friend is still suffering from the shock, cried wildly."Yes," I replied, "Armand Tirado."And I'm busy with the skeletons that I mentioned earlier. I put the bones thrown open, soon pulled out better for masonry stone and mortar. I will use these materials, and then rely on the trowel, an effort to build a wall to the entrance of the niche puzzle.I didn't even head a layer of stone brick, knew Fu spit drunk awake 80% rothschild. First heard a deep humming sound in the niche. This is not like a drunkard. There was a silent silence for a long time. I built second layers, third layers, fourth layers, and then I heard the iron chains shaking. Has been ringing for several minutes, I simply from the hands of the living, sat down in the bones, which is more agreeable to hear, clatter the voice finally dumb silence, only to pick up the trowel, don't stop the puzzle on the fifth layer, sixth layer, seventh layer. This building was almost the chest. I stopped again, lifted the torch to the stone wall, and a faint light shone on the figure.Suddenly, the chained form a succession of loud and shrill screams from the throat, as if trying to scare me. Suddenly, I have no idea, Susu trembled, and soon pulled out the sword, sword in hand to find them in a niche; thought, and put down the heart. My hands rested on the sturdy building of the tomb cellar. Go to the wall in front of the man shouted, I also cried out to him. He calls, and I shall call him louder than he does.This call, the shouting voice of the other dumb.Now I have finished at dead of night. The eighth floor, the ninth floor, the tenth layer were built earlier, and the last layer, that is, the eleventh layer, was soon finished;Just into the last piece of stone, then plastered on the line.I managed to lift the heavy stone and put the stone in the original position. Who knew there was a low laugh in the alcove that scared my hair to stand erect. Then came the shrill sound, it is easy to recognize the voice of the master Donato Fu spit. Just say -"Ha!"! Kazakhstan! Kazakhstan! Ha! Kazakhstan! Kazakhstan! This is really a big joke -- wonderful joke, back to the mansion, a happy and funny - hee! Hee! Hee! And our wine - hee! Hee! Hee!""The amontillado!" I said.Hee! Hee! Hee! Yes, amontillado. Is it too late? Fu tonalide Stowe house, they are not in the US? Let's go!""Yes," I said, "let's go."!"For heaven's sake go, Monterey shuttle!""Yes," I said, "for God's sake."."Who knows I say this sentence, how to listen to can not hear an answer. My heart grew impatient, then voice shouted: "Fu Tu rothschild!"No answer. I'll call again."Fu Tu rothschild!"Still no answer. I put the torch into the wall hole that had not been built and threw it in. Who knows only to jingle sound.I don't get sick of it. It's because of the moisture in the cellar. I hasten to finish. Plug the last stone and plaster it. Next to the new wall, to pile up the bones. No one has been moving for fifty years. May the dead rest in peace!。

Class: Class 3School Number: 20064398Name: Wei Y unCharacter Analysis of The Cask of AmontilladoAbstract: The theme was revealed through the analysis of the two protagonists‟characters. Fortunato‟s arrogance,fatuity are embodied in his language, behaviour and appearance. As to Montresor, his obduracy is vividly displayed step by step in his “perfect” plan, he has lost the basic humanity, he is the victim of the industrial society.Key W ords: character, arrogant, obduracy, warning, downfallThe Cask of Amontillado is a short story indited by Edgar Allan Poe, a famous American novelist, poet and essayist. The story tells us a cliff-hanging revenge process, which involves two protagonists. Fortunato, the victim of the plan, is extremely arrogant, astrut and fatuous; Montresor, the avenger and the hatcher of the plan, is over-rational and marblehearted. Through depicting the two typical characters, Poe aims at warning the modern people that the high-developed industrial society is bringing people to downfall and final perdition.I would like to put Fortunato in the first place to analyze. One important aspect of his character is arrogance.The first mention of him is indirect description, from Montresor‟s narration, we get to know that Fortunato‟s weak point-he prides himself on his connoisseur in wine. We can imagine how self-conceited Fortunato is through this artful description. And this is rightly proved in the language description in the following. “Let us go, nevertheless. The cold is merely nothing. Amontillado! Y ou have been imposed upon. And as for Luchesi, he cannot distinguish Sherry from Amontillado.” When Montresor tempts him with Amontillado and mentions another connoisseur of wine Luchesi deliberately, Fortunato is so eager to display himself that is easily caught with chaff. He even vilipends Luchesi to show his sovereign ability. We could see that he is immersed in his arrogance and is totally driven by it. And there is also an ironic description, I notice that every time they meet some obstacle in the vaults, Montresor will mention Luchesi and Fortunato immediately forgets anything and moves on resolutely .It is his hubris that leads him to his tomb, step by step. Another obviouscharacter of Fortunato is fatuity. We can see from the novel that the first direct description of him is about his appearance. “The man wore motley. He had on a tight-fitting parti-striped dress, and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells.” Striped dress is often the symble of the prisoner or psychopath, also he has bells on his conical cap, and these are all sighs of a fool and indicated Fortunato‟s hebetudes. I notice that at the end of the novel, Fortunato m entions his wife, he calls her …Lady Fortunato‟, and we can tell that he is an aristocrat in the society. However, when he gets Montresor‟s vaults, he puts up his ignorance of Montresor‟s large family and their arms. This also indicates his fatuity. At las t, he is a person devoid of good education. We can tell this from his language, he vilipends Luchesi when he fears that Luchesi might take away his opportunity to display. Fortunato is typical in his time, he dies of his sovereign pride endowed by the high-developed industrial civilization.Then is the character analysis of Montresor, the designer and executant of the perfect revenge plan. First of all, it is about his obduracy. In the very beginning of the novel is the vivid psychological description of Montresor. From his determined and confident tone, we can feel that he has no sense of sympathy in his heart. Furthermore, from his reveng goal, “I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong”,we can sense he has lost his basic human nature and merely treats this revenge as a game. In addition, at the climax of the story, when he hea rs Fortunato‟s struggling sound on the wall he is locked, Montresor even feels more satisfied. And when he hears the durative screaming, he merely hesitates and trembles for a brief moment before he continues his brickwork again. Thus, he has completely lost the humanity and the basic right to be a real human. Montresor is also good at scheming, we can easily see his outstanding sense from the following details. Firstly, at the beginning of his narration, we learn that he still smiles to Fortunato when he i s determined to kill him, for fear of arousing Fortunato‟s suspicion. Then, he chooses the perfect time-the carnival season, during which people are all busy making merry and all of them are in different costumes. This is splendiferous cover for his murder. Moreover, he is quite aware of Fortunato‟s weak point and takes advantage of it quite well. He uses Amontillado to tempt Fortunato and stimulates him with the implicit threat, Luchesi. The last detail I would like to mention here is the way he dispels his servants. He tells them hewon‟t come back until the next morning, he knows it is enough to ensure their fleeing since it is the carnival season. In order to avoid their suspicion and insure his innocence, he also orders them not to stir from the house. How flawless his great plan is! Thus, Montresor‟s character is displayed before us incisively and vividly. In fact, he buries himself at the same time he finished Fortunato‟s life in his vaults. His heart has been enwrapped by pure concept of sense and becomes its slave, he loses the basic qualities as a human, he cannot find the significance of life anymore and he loses the right and ability to enjoy life.Through depicting the two typical characters in the industrial society, Poe gives people who are immersed in the development of science and technology a alarming warning, he warns them to be prudent about the high-developed industrial civilization. It may not bring people to the bright future as they imagined, on the contrary, it may deprive people‟s emot ions and humanity insensibly and make people arrogant or over-rational, then fretful, confused and even desperate. It may lead people to downfall in the end.。

The Cask of Amontillado一桶白葡萄酒（作者埃德加·爱·伦坡（Edger Allen Poe）是19世纪美国伟大的诗人、小说家、文学评论家，他的小说主要是短篇小说，多为恐怖小说，这可能与他从小失去父母，被人收养，形成阴暗、怪异的性格有关。

）我忍受了无数福吐纳托的迫害，每当他胆敢侮辱我的时候，我都发誓要报复。

如此了解我脾性的你一定不会认为我只是说说吓唬人。

最终，我会报复的，这是毫无疑问的。

但是，采取的方式一定不能是有风险的。

我不但要报复，而且要做得不留痕迹。

如果纠正者遭到了惩罚，那么错误等于没有被纠正，同样地，如果一个报复者采取的行动不能让自己满意，那也就等于没有报复。

我必须确保我的言语和行动不能让福吐纳托认为我有恶意。

所以，我仍然像往常一样，朝他微笑，他没有察觉我的微笑里面隐藏着杀机。

尽管福吐纳托在其他方面是个让人尊敬甚至让人害怕的人，但他却有个弱点，他对自己在葡萄酒上的鉴赏力颇有信心。

意大利人少有真正具备鉴赏家精神的人。

他们把大量的热情用到了抓住时间和机会欺诈不列颠和奥地利的百万富翁上。

在油画和宝石方面，福吐纳托就像他的同胞一样，是个吹嘘者，但在陈年葡萄酒的品赏上，他却是不折不扣的专家。

我在这点上跟他有着很大的相似，我自己也精于对意大利陈年好酒的鉴赏，而且只要方便就会大量买入。

天几乎黑了。

在这个极度疯狂的狂欢季节的傍晚，我遇到了我的朋友。

他喝得醉醺醺的，热情洋溢地过来跟我搭话。

他穿得五颜六色。

紧身的条纹状的衣服，头上一个圆形的帽子高高拱起，挂着铃铛。

看到他我太高兴了，不由得把他的手握得紧紧的。

“亲爱的福吐纳托，见到你真是太巧了！你今天看起来棒极了！我买了一大桶酒，据说是白葡萄酒（西班牙蒙蒂利亚生产的一种甜酒），我想确定一下。

”我对他说。

“什么？”他说，“白葡萄酒？一大桶？真的？在狂欢节期间？”“我想确定一下，”我说，“我真蠢！没咨询你就付了全款。

我没找到你，而且我怕错失了好买卖。
