“My friend no. It is not the engagement but you are the sever cold with which I perceive you are afflicted.”
Revenge is a lightly used term in The Cask of Amontillado as mad man Montressor seeks vengeance on his nobleman friend Fortunado. Intoxicating Fortunado and promising him a show of the finest sherry in town, Montressor entombs his friend alive in the damp and inaccessible wine cellars leaving him to die a slow and painful death. The whole story revolves around several puns and ironic situations that occur to give the reader a sense of what fate the two men will meet.
