QUICK! Tell your neighbor everything you remember about Edgar Allan Poe and….

Fill in the blanks as I read this summary aloud: In Edgar Allan Poe’s short story, “The Cask of _____________, a rich man named ______________ must get revenge on his “friend” named ______________ for ____________ him during the party season of ____________ in Italy. Tempting him with expensive wine, Montresor lures Fortunato deep into the ________________ of his family where he eventually chains him up and builds a wall of bricks and bones to seal him in.

READ AGAIN WITH ME: In Edgar Allan Poe’s short story, “The Cask of Amontillado, a rich man named Montresor must get revenge on his “friend” named Fortunato for insulting him during the party season of Carnivale in Italy. Tempting him with expensive wine, Montresor lures Fortunato deep into the catacombs of his family where he eventually chains him up and builds a wall of bricks and bones to seal him in.

REVIEW QUESTIONS: (increasing in level of difficulty according to Bloom’s taxonomy) 1.) What was the Montresor family motto? REMEMBER. (recalling information) 2.) Explain why Fortunato didn’t want Luchesi to be the one to determine the authenticity of the wine. UNDERSTAND. (explaining plot points) 3.) Given your new vocabulary knowledge, why does Fortunado rrecoil after and change the subject after Montresor calls him for pretending to be a free mason? APPLY. (identifying subject-specific knowledge) 4.) Give an example of a moment in the story where Poe slowly builds suspense and terror. ANALYZE. (determine how plot points contribute to the overall meaning) 5.) Make a connection between the jingling of Fortunato’s bells when he is about to die and the sounds from other Poe stories. EVALUATE. (make a judgment about sound by comparing two stories against one another) 6.)Do you think Montresor truly got revenge? Why or why not? Support your answer with examples from the text. CREATE. (Formulate a point-of-view and support it with evidence.)

OUR OBJECTIVE TODAY: FLT: Given Poe’s story “The Cask of Amontillado,” we will identify the six elements of a short story by collecting evidence that contributes to the overall mood of the story and the motif of death. HOW WILL I KNOW IF I KNOW IT? I can paraphrase passages in the story that signify death and contribute to the story’s mood.

CHARACTER

CONFLICT

The character Fortunato from Edgar Allan Poe’s story “The Cask of Amontillado” experiences an internal struggle because he must decide whether or not to follow Montresor into the vault despite his cold. This is demonstrated when he says to Montresor, “Let us go, nevertheless. This cold is merely nothing” (63 ).

POINT OF VIEW

I hesitated before opening the box. With shaky fingers, I removed the top and found--

This was the last time I would ever see Margo or hear those hateful words out of her pretentious mouth.

“Goodbye,” I said, while choking back tears. I stepped off the train platform and into the next chapter of my existence.

The blood splattered like a Jackson Pollock painting, and I found myself laughing.

With 2 seconds left of the scoreboard, coach indecisively put me in.
