view. Consistent in voice, Montresor uses a
sadistic and manipulative tone that creates
dramatic irony. He is an unreliable narrator

third-person point of view by a limited-omniscient
narrator. The action...

equally fatal shots were delivered into his chest

of rectum ad absurdum, i. e. taking the argument
to absurd lengths, and verbally sketches a
brilliant political cartoon whose imagery reduces
the reader to wry chuckles of recognition. Twain
