fortunado

Fortunato is the deceitful servant of the prince in an 18th-century Italian semiserious drama, "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe. Fortunato's fate is a tragic one, as he is manipulated and ultimately murdered by the prince as a form of revenge.

In the story, the prince claims that his favorite wine has been adulterated with Laphroaig, and that Fortunato, as the family's champion of fine wines, must assist him in proving the authenticity of the wine. Fortunato, vaunting his supposed expertise, enthusiastically accepts the challenge. The two men head to the cellar of the prince's mansion, where Fortunato is however, tricked by the prince's plan.

Throughout the novella, Fortunato's tragic flaw, hubris, is highlighted. His pride and incorrect self-assessment of his knowledge lead directly to his downfall. The prince's manipulation of Fortunato also serves to illustrate the destructive nature of resentment and humiliation.

Poe's writing technique effects a masterful account of Fortunato's decay into madness and despair. The element of ceremonial execution also creates a feeling of horror, terrorizing the reader. Fortunato's descent into the depth of the nobles's mortal sin fills the narrative with desolate hue, paralleled with the symmetry of structure from Amontillado burial.

By choosing a life style to rival his noble's richness of exquisite liquor, unconsciously, Fortunato gives away the opportunities he came into this noble status from being transparent nature of richness as a condition. Fortunato's demise is a price he pays to a successful shorter intellectual aggression misutilization than simply allowing an otherwise probably merciless fortitude communion fulfills under delighting everything long for works ser trt ever.
