The place that Poe chose to use as his setting make the story even more creepy. Also, the way that he describes the way the catacombs look makes me feel as if I’m actually there.

This quote will show you how good his description is “ Bowed him through several suites of rooms to the archway that led to several vaults. I passed down a long and winding staircase, requesting him to be cautious as he followed” (Poe 4).

Absolutely not. Montresor is an evil genius filled with the caustic fumes of revenge and hatred. On one hand, whatever good Montresor may have done for the people of Italy does not excuse murder. However, on the other Montresor unknowingly carried out the will of the people and took out a major problem in the Italian community (or maybe he did know; Montresor is a very smart man).

We find out that the coat of arms is fabricated by the quote “Nemo me impune lacessit.”, which means “no one attacks me with impunity”.
