What are Montresor`s own reflections on revenge, is Fortunato able to escape from this vengeance because of several indications that Montresor utters? Is his deed really a comlpete success and to which degree is Poe personally involved in this literary revenge? 2.1 Montresor`s thoughts on Revenge In the fallowing I will examine the different aspects of revenge in Poe`s tale. Fortunato has to die because Montresor doesn`t want to accept an insult unpunished. In `` The Cask of Amontillado`` the thirst for vangeance is responsible for the death of a man. Or two entire families die because of a cruel feud in `` Metzengerstein``. The crew of the Jane Guy in ``Arthur Gordon Pym``has been slaughtered by natives because of some low reason. A lot of stories are concerned with this mean instinct, and the american author Edgar Allan Poe often deals with this and other raw instincts. Battles have been fought and wars were waged because of one reason: revenge. The desire for revenge has always been a strong motive for the action of man.
