Examine at least two examples of irony in “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe. How is dramatic and verbal irony used to foreshadow Fortunato’s eventual demise?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Situational irony, when Montressor uses reverse psychology to get his servants to leave the house before he brings Fortunato home. And dramatic irony occurs when Fortunato goes into the catacombs under false premise that Montressor is trying to help him. Dramatic irony runs through this short story as we, the readers, know what Montressor has in store for Fortunato yet he has no idea. Verbal irony is shown in how kind Montressor is when he and Fortunato first see each other at the carnival. He's gushing with kind words yet we know that those words have hidden malice.
