It was the name of a countship, i.e., of a fief designated by the name. Montresor was not a family name but is of French origin. The story takes place in eighteenth-century France. Montresor tells of the motive and the execution of the perfect crime he committed in the fictional past (50 years previously) to a silent, unidentified listener in the fictional present. As a whole "The Cask" consists of two narratives, each of which has its appropriate dialectic and rhetoric. Various images in the text suggest archetypal acts such as the quest for the original substance or the universal solvent, the quest for the Holy Grail, and the quest for Solomon's Secret Vault and the Stone of Foundation connected with the tetragrammaton (a Jewish and later a Masonic symbol). If "The Cask" seems simply a story of a clever and successful revenge, it is also the story of a failed quest that goes much beyond the simple search for the cask of Amontillado, a dark-colored Spanish sherry. The dialogue amounts to a duel with words, which is unusual since Poe rarely depended much on dialogue in constructing his stories. It is especially notable for two reasons: its subtle, ironic treatment of a passionate but coldly calculated plot to bury a man alive to satisfy an aristocrat's honor and its superb dialogue between the protagonist, the insulted nobleman Montresor, and his antagonist, the gross bourgeois Italian who has a purchased title, Fortunato. The Edgar Allan Poe story "The Cask of Amontillado" is one of his finest. He finds solace in several sexual encounters until he meets Mathilde and falls in love.

In turn, Lotto gives her stability and care: things which she craves for. Lotto has big dreams which Mathilde can support him in realizing. In Fates we hear the story of how Lotto and Mathilde fall in love and end up in a hasty marriage. Groff couldn’t have ordered the narration in a better way. The book is divided into two parts, Fates, that tells the story from Lotto’s perspective and Furies, which tells the story of the union from Mathilde’s point of view. Fates and Furies tells the story of the love, creative struggle and secrets that bind them together.įates and Furies is the story of a marriage.

Even the Looney Tunes got in on the act when they gave us Bah Humduck! which as a pun works quite well, if not as a memorable adaptation.

With his warm legs tangled around mine, his broad chest flush against my back, and his arms circled over and under me cradling my body to his, he was far more comfortable than the overpriced bed. The sheets wrapped around us were the finest linens I’d ever slept in, but their luxuriousness paled in comparison to the man beside me. Soft lips touched my shoulder, and I snuggled further into the body seeking my solace. And even more miraculously, he felt the same. It was the feeling bursting apart my chest-the overwhelming sensation that I’d been cleaved in two at birth, and, miraculously, I’d managed to find my other half. And really, a formal ceremony and a piece of paper wasn’t what made a marriage. A soul-filled pledge of undying devotion was enough for us right now. A cool ring of hard metal dug into my skin as he held me in his firm grasp and I smiled wider, fingering the matching band on the ring finger of my hand.
