In "The Cask of Amontillado," Montresor plans his elaborate and cruel revenge against Fortunato by luring him into the catacombs under his palazzo under the pretense of tasting a rare wine called Amontillado. Once they reach the darker, deeper parts of the catacombs, Montresor chains Fortunato to a wall and seals him behind a brick wall, leaving him to die a slow and agonizing death. Montresor's plan is carefully calculated, ensuring that Fortunato does not suspect his true intentions until it is too late.
