Fernando hurts and embarrasses the narrator

Fernando decides he will get revenge on the narrator
Fortunato has hurt the narrator a thousand times, but when Fortunato almost insults him, the narrator swears there will be payback. Fernando’s weakness is introduced into the story.

Fernando has his love of wine, but other than that, he is a “respected” and “feared” person. Meaning he isn’t really a bad guy. The narrator meets Fernando and he is somewhat drunk and dressed like a jester. He tells Fortunato that he’s on his way to see Luchesi, who will be able to tell him if the Amontillado is the real thing.

Trying to seem sincere the narrator acts as if he doesn’t want to go but Fernando insist and that is just what the narrator wanted. Getting him even more drunk the narrator continues with his plan Fortunato says he should be getting back to “Lady Fortunato” and the other people.

The narrator agrees and carries out the deed killing Fernando When the narrator gets no response after calling Fernando’s name, he shines his light in the hole, and then hears “a jingling of bells.” That’s when he puts in the last brick, covers it with plaster, then sticks a bunch of bones on top of “the new masonry.”
