    I had to read this Short Story in my honors Freshmen ELA class. I thought it was a morbid story about Petty Revenge. But I love how The Narrator is so passionate about getting revenge. It makes you truly think about what Fortunato said or did to insult Him.
    Overall I really Enjoyed reading this.

  • My favorite story of all time

    I am and always have been fascinated by the work of Mr. Poe. His writing style has always intrigued me, for it has good taste in words. Mr. Poe doesn’t use simple words to describe things. He uses a wide range of vocabulary and that is what makes his work so fun to read for me. I am always learning new and unusual words when I read his work. My vocabulary is nowhere near as impressive as his, but I hope someday that it will be.

    I was only able to understand and this story a little bit because there were many confusing words. Most of them were words that we haven't even learned yet. And also they were words that no one even uses anymore! I gave it two starts because it was by Edgar Allan Poe

  • Classic horror
