Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado”

Write a thesis statement that includes: (1) the author’s name, (2) the story’s title, and (3) an arguable, supportable claim regarding the narration of the story. Your claim should emphasize how the narrative structure create or reinforce meaning in the story (what purpose does it serve?). Does the story have an reliable/unreliable narrator? How do you know (how will you support yourself)? For example:

Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado” allows the reader to taste madness through an unreliable narrator and a setting that increases in confinement.
