Today we will talk about your quizzes from yesterday. Review vocabulary. Watch a brief version of the Cask of Amontillado, and in groups discuss the following questions. Tomorrow we will be taking notes and moving on to the next story.
Discussion Questions to think about
1) Compare and contrast Montresor and General Zaroff: how they think, how they view the world, how they view others, how they view themselves, the places they live, how they act—in essence compare their emotional, mental, and physical existences.
2) Why does Montresor feel justified in carrying out his plan against Fortunato?
3) Which character traits make Fortunato such an easy prey for Montresor (needs to be more than just his “connoisseurship in wine”.
4) In what ways are Montresor and Fortunato alike? How are they different?
