Question 18: The Carnival setting impacts the mood by contrasting a cheery, fun event with the seriousness of the events in the story. The events of the story are dark and mysterious, but a Carnival is supposed to be fun and cheerful.

Question 4: Montresor has convinced Fortunato that he has acquired a rare and valuable wine, but he is unsure if it is the real thing, Fortunato insists that he must come and thinks he is suitable for the task. Montresor insists that Fortunato should not come because the catacombs where he stored the wine are damp and will worsen Fortunato’s cold. This was a setup that had been carefully planned by Montresor to ensure that Fortunato would follow him to the trap.
