  4. Montresor most values his revenge, because he is clever and tricky and obviously thinks thinks through his plans to be evil and kill old "friend."

  5. I think Montresor is crazy and focuses on the little things too much. it is clear that fortunato does not think that he has harmed Montresor, but Montresor is hurt enough to murder Fortunato.

  8. I believe that Montresor is insane and that he is looking for every or any reason to cause trouble. I,also, think that he most values the ending result feeling of revenge.

  29. I think that Montresor is ridiculously crazy and evil for wanting to hear his "friend" scream and yell for his life, and Montresor likes it.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Montresor is a sick man to be able to listen to his friend scream in terror because of what HE is doing to him.

    ReplyDelete
  31. montresar kinda feels what he is doing is wrong

    ReplyDelete
  32. don't lip dirty things to me eric

    ReplyDelete
  33. how can he even do this to someone.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Montresor knows what he is doing is wrong and somehow that satisfies him...

    ReplyDelete
  35. Montresor must be very heartless to mock a dying man.

    ReplyDelete
  36. this man is very sick..he wants revenge so bad he loves hearing this man scream and try to get out of these chains and he gets satisfaction from this.

    ReplyDelete
  37. What could fortanodo have possibly done to deserve this torture

    ReplyDelete
  38. this guy needs like a slap in the face.... or something to knock the crazy outta him...

    ReplyDelete
  39. Creepy laugh, VERY creepy laugh, VERY VERY creepy laugh. I'm scared.

    ReplyDelete
  40. ewwwWWWWW he buried him thats gross! MAYBE THAT'S WHAT THE SHOVEL THINGY WAS FOR HA i get it =)

    ReplyDelete
  41. why did montresar kill fortanodo

    ReplyDelete
  42. so, he buried him alive. and nobody will find him because he is surrounded by dead bodies anyway

    ReplyDelete
  43. I think Montresor does feel bad about what he is doing, but he tries to ignore it. At the end, he says his heart grew sick, but he says it was due to the dampness of the catacombs. He can't stand the idea of his whole, "wonderful" murder being a bad thing.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think that being burried alive is one of the worst ways to die. Monstresor is super crazy and he must be extremely sensitive to let a small insult lead to himself killing the guy.

    ReplyDelete
  45. hes is crazy in the head he needs help if a a little word or a few

    ReplyDelete
  46. again i think this man is sick and needs to learn to control his emotions

    ReplyDelete
  47. Killing someone over a insult, is cuckoo for coco puffs

    ReplyDelete
  48. i think maybe he slept with montresors wife or something.... cuz thats prettyy insulting... not enough to kill a guy though

    ReplyDelete
  49. he kkilled him over an insult that is jjust nuts some one went off there rocker

    ReplyDelete
  50. montresor is extremely motivated and hes human

    ReplyDelete
  51. What did he want revenge for? What did ?Ferutano? do to him?

    ReplyDelete
  52. Just Montresor was insulted by Fortunado doesn't mean that he has to kill him over it. Montresor is very crazy..

    ReplyDelete
  53. he truely beleives that Fotunado really did something that wrong that he has to passionately kill him.
