Read this passage from "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe. Then, answer the following question(s). Which theme, or lesson about life, would the character’s thoughts in this passage best support?

Answered by admin @ 09/11/2021

Answer:

the cowardly nature of those who forgive an enemy

The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best

could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.

You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not

suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat. At length

I would be avenged; this was a point definitely settled-but

the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded

the idea of risk. 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

It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had 1

given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I continued, as

was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not perceive

that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation.
