The Cask of Amontillado | A Classic Tale of Revenge

Edgar Allan Poe's classic 1846 tale, retold. On the last night of carnival, Montresor, who has sworn a quiet revenge, tempts his proud rival Fortunato down into the family catacombs with the promise of a rare cask of wine. Past the nitre-hung walls and the stacked bones, a cough, a jingling cap of bells, a trowel, a chain and one last stone. The original story is in the public domain; this telling is in new words. 0:00 Carnival night 1:42 Title 1:46 The long account 3:47 Into the vaults 6:37 The recess 8:58 The silence 10:50 Your Turn Retold from Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Cask of Amontillado' (1846), which is in the public domain.
