 Today we are going to write sentences with Preclude and Impunity, finish the story "The Cask of Amontillado", fill out short story outlines.

HW: On your blogs list as many ironies (verbal, situational, and dramatic) as you can (have at least 5 total), and three symbols, and one allusion. 

If you finish everything in class start answering the questions below:

Discussion Questions to think about

1) Compare and contrast Montresor and General Zaroff: how they think, how they view the world, how they view others, how they view themselves, the places they live, how they act—in essence compare their emotional, mental, and physical existences.
2) Why does Montresor feel justified in carrying out his plan against Fortunato?
3) Which character traits make Fortunato such an easy prey for Montresor (needs to be more than just his “connoisseurship in wine”.
4) In what ways are Montresor and Fortunato alike? How are they different?

5) List an irony of situation, a verbal irony, and a dramatic irony found in "The Cask of Amontillado".

6) List and explain one symbol in the story.
