Discussion #3: Poe: “Cask of Amontillado”
Question Description
I’m working on a english discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
After reading the story, watch this video reading of Edgar Allan Poe’s “Cask of Amontillado:” Edgar A. Poe and Vincent Price: The Cask of the Amontillado. Be sure to watch BOTH PARTS of the video.
(If you need a written version to follow, use the story itself as a guide, and/or click on the CC icon to the right on the screen – this gives the Closed Captioning option, which will give you subtitles. The story is a better source.)
Discuss the experience of hearing and seeing a short story acted and recited by discussing both prompts:
- Is Vincent Price’s interpretation close to what you imagined when you read the story?
- How does Price convey the sense of the narrator as unreliable, i.e.: either justified in his revenge or simply as a madman?
