The Cask of Amontillado By: Edgar Allan Poe 1)How cohesive and organized is his writing? Edgar Allan Poe writes with a unique grotesque inventive style. Poe also includes a superb plot construction which hooks the reader at the very start because he sets up a situation which the fills the reader with anticipation to see what develops. In the first line of the story The Cask Of Amontillado(1846), he says, "...but when he ventured upon …showed first 75 words of 2292 total…

…showed last 75 words of 2292 total…only guess the severity of the wrong. The line is 88 and it is Montresor talking to Fortunato and he said, "You are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, as once I was." Poe slips this line in subtly, but it is a line which leaves the reader guessing if it was Fortunato who took all that away from Montresor. Other than that, Poe wrote a gripping and addicting story in The Cask Of Amontillado.
