  <default_description>Montressor felt he had been insulted by Fortunato. At a carnival, he finds an intoxicated Fortunato and lures him into the catacombs beneath Montressor's home on the pretense of letting Fortunato judge the quality of a cask of rare Amontillado wine. Besides a storage place for his wine, the catacombs serve as the burial place of generations of Montressor's ancestors. Deep in the catacombs, Montressor chains his intoxicated victim to the wall of a small alcove and buries him alive by sealing the opening with brick and mortar. In this adaptation of Poe's story, Montressor, on his death-bed and haunted by the horror of the vile deed, confesses. With his last breath he requests that he not be buried in the catacombs.  &lt;P&gt;READ-ALONG RADIO DRAMA KITS are literature units for the reading and language arts classroom.

    <body><![CDATA[Edgar Allan Poe is my favorite author, so naturally I am more than happy to recommend this brilliant tale of revenge. While revenge is the subject in a lot of Poe's writing, this tale stuck in my mind more than any other. I'm still not sure exactly why.

    <body><![CDATA[This one was certainly not my favorite, but it was masterfully written.  There are wonderful tools of symbolism and foreshadowing.  It's a pity I don't know Latin or French, because Poe tends to shower these throughout his pieces, and without translations, they mean little to me.  Again, the iconic ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74151647">more...</a>]]></body>
