[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

You are correct! In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado," the use of a first-person narrator heightens the uncertainty and sense of horror felt by the reader. The story is told from the perspective of Montresor, the narrator, who shares his inner thoughts, feelings, and motivations directly with the reader. This intimate narrative style immerses the reader in Montresor's twisted perspective, deepening the sense of dread and mystery surrounding his actions. By presenting the events from the viewpoint of the narrator, Poe creates a sense of uncertainty and suspense, as the reader experiences the story through Montresor's distorted perception of reality. This choice of a first-person narrator also allows the reader to question the reliability and credibility of Montresor's account, adding an additional layer of psychological tension to the narrative.
