The document summarizes Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado". It discusses how the story is a tale of revenge and live burial that takes place in a Gothic setting within catacombs. It also notes that the main character bears many injuries from Fortunato but vows revenge when insulted, though claims it is not a real threat. In the end, the wall of bones is re-erected with Fortunato buried behind it, left undiscovered for 50 years.
