The story is told from the perspective of Montresor, who is seeking revenge on Fortunato for some unspecified insult. This unreliable narrator adds to the sense of mystery and suspense, as readers are left questioning Montresor's motives and his sanity. The reader is forced to piece together the events of the story based on Montresor's limited and biased perspective, creating a chilling atmosphere of uncertainty and unease. Poe's use of this narrator effectively heightens the sense of horror and helps to immerse the reader in the twisted world of the story.
