astounded with the fact that he sees wine, or that his friend is chaining him up? Seems to be the wine, but I first though it was the fact that his friend was chaining him up
-
which I had difficulty inrecognising as that of the noble Fortunato.
jesus. This reminds me of the Nutty Putty cave incident. Someone was trapped upside down for 27 hours, and you couldn't even make out his final words since it was basically just gurgling.

-
I heard the furious vibrations of thechain
Okay man Fortunato's tryna leave now I thought he was your friend
-
I began vigorously to wall up theentrance
So you not only chained him down, but are building a wall too so he can't get back. Didn't you just say he should turn back? He literally can't now??
-

-
had I givenFortunato cause to doubt my good wil
Is this more like a karma situation? do good and you will be lucky? Is Fortunato a someone? <br /> I wrote that before finding out it was just a character. Maybe this is just saying Fortunato was not justified in doing harm to the narrator.
-
“The nitre!” I said; “see, it increases. It hangs like moss uponthe vaults. We are below the river’s bed. The drops of moisturetrickle among the bones. Come, we will go back ere it is too late.Your cough—”

“Come,” I said, with decision, “we will go back; your health isprecious.You are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy,as once I was. You are a man to be missed.
This is supposed to be revenge against Fortunato? Why is the narrator insisting he go back? Did he know it wouldn't change Fortunato's mind? Is he doing this to make his character still seem good?

Let us go, nevertheless. The cold is merely nothing.
Fortunato is pretty impulsive. He hears wine, he's in. He stops participating in the carnival he's dressed for, he the narrator kinda tries to stop him from leaving, and he isn't even turned away by how cold it will be.
-
Luchesi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry.
Okay. Amontillado is a type of sherry wine that's dryer. Sherry is just regular sherry wine.
