In Poe's short story "the cask of amontillado" describe the main conflict and how it is resolved
The main conflict in "The Cask of Amontillado" is between the two main characters, Montresor and Fortunato. Montresor seeks revenge on Fortunato for some unspecified insult, and he lures him into the catacombs with the promise of sampling a rare and valuable wine, Amontillado.
The conflict is resolved when Montresor chains Fortunato to a wall in a dark, damp crypt and proceeds to brick him up alive. Montresor's revenge is complete, and he leaves Fortunato to die a slow and horrifying death.
In this story, the resolution of the conflict is one of violence and finality. Montresor's revenge is carried out in a shocking and brutal manner, leaving no room for compromise or reconciliation. The resolution highlights the darkness and cruelty of human nature, as well as the consequences of allowing hatred and revenge to consume one's soul.
