SUMMARY:
The narrator, Montresor starts his story by stating that he has been gravely insulted by a man called Fortunato, and that he vows revenge. Fortunato is a wine connoisseur and Montresor wishes to exact his revenge with little risk, so he uses his foe’s love of wine to convince him to test a bottle of Amontillado to judge if it is real. Montresor says that he could look for a different man called Luchesi to taste it, and no matter how pressed, Fortunato says that he will judge the wine for himself, so they head together to Montresor’s vaults. Montresor has planned his revenge thoroughly and has told his servants to enjoy the festival in the town for the evening. 
As they head down the vaults, Montresor points out some nitre to his companion and says that they can turn back if it will prove too strong for his cough. Fortunato declares that he is continuing, and Montresor gives him a draught of wine to ease his throat. They continue further into the vault and eventually come to a crypt. There is a small recess at the end and Montresor tells Fortunato that the Amontillado is in the recess, asking him to step into it. Once inside, Montresor takes advantage of Fortunato’s drunken state and chains him quickly to the wall whereafter Montresor starts to brick the tomb back up. 
While bricking up the wall, the alcohol wears off of Fortunato, and believing that Montresor is playing a bad joke on him, asks to stop and take him back upstairs where they can enjoy the party and the Amontillado together. But Montresor continues to brick up his enemy and after placing the last one, says, in Latin, “May he rest in peace.”
