Question

1. reread the first paragraph of edgar allan poes short story the cask of amontillado.

the thousand injuries of fortunato i had borne as i best could, but when he ventured upon insult, i vowed revenge. you, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that i gave utterance to a threat. at length i
would be avenged; this was a point definitively settled - but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. i must not only punish, but punish with impunity. a wrong is unredressed when retribution
overtakes its redresser. it is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.
what point of view does poe use in this story?
o first person omniscient
o first person limited
o third person limited
o third person omniscient

Explanation:

In literature, the first - person omniscient point of view is when the narrator is a character in the story (first - person) and also has knowledge of all characters' thoughts and feelings (omniscient). In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado", the narrator (Montresor) is telling the story from his own perspective (first - person) and reveals his own detailed plans and thoughts about Fortunato, which shows an all - knowing (in terms of his own motives and actions) nature.

Answer:

first person omniscient
