Read the following excerpt from "The Cask of Amontillado" and answer question. THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon
insult I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose,
however, that gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point
definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of
risk. I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution
overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as
such to him who has done the wrong.
It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my
good will. I continued, as was my in to smile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile
now was at the thought of his immolation.
What character trait is revealed about Montresor in the passage above?
He has the ability to overlook wrongs in order to preserve relationships.
He has always behaved kindly towards Fortunato
He feels it is important to conduct himself as a gentleman.
O He has the ability to be conniving and manipulative.
