- During Carnival in Italy, Montresor runs into Fortunato, and offers to share a very nice bottle of Amontillado wine with him. However, this bottle is in his catacombs. It is late at night and Fortunato seems ill.
- Falling Action
- Montresor lures Fortunato down into the wine vault. As suspense builds, Montresor keeps asking if Fortunato would like to turn back because he seems ill, but he continues to drink wine to ease his cough.
- Resolution
- When they reach their destination, there is no Amontillado, but there is a hole in the wall. Montresor forces Fortunato inside, and begins to seal up the wall with bricks..
- As the last few bricks are laid, Fortunato screams for Montresor to stop, but it is too late. Montresor has enacted his revenge.
- Montresor walks away with only the sound of Fortunato’s jingling jester bells echoing in the tomb. In the end, he claims that no one has disturbed them for 50 years, so he has gotten away with his plan!
