This quote from The
Cask of Amontillado is showing a dark allusion to what Montressor has
planned for the ignorant Fortunato. You can tell Fortunato feels almost completely
at easy and certainly does not expect what Montressor has planned for him. Montressor replies to his companion with “And
I for your long life.” Poe has Fortunato reference the buried that repose
around them, but what Fortunato does not yet know is that he is soon to join
them in their final resting place. The reader is unaware of what exactly
Montressor has planned, but when you read the quote again, after you know what
happens, it becomes obvious that Poe was using dark humor to create an allusion
to the unfortunate Fortunato’s fate.
