"...but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge" (190). It's clear from the beginning of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado  that our narrator has the intention of seeking revenge on his so-called friend, Fortunato. Although we are left in the dark about the reasoning of our narrators actions, we know he's has a clear plan for the demise of his friend.

Some people were taken aback by this death, but if you look closely enough, Poe supplied a vast amount of foreshadowing his death throughout the story. The entire first paragraph is filled with hints of the death of his friend, they also make jokes about Fortunato sickness killing him, as well as saying that our narrator is a mason. The first paragraph always sets the tone for a story, and that's exactly what Poe does for us here. Our narrator starts defending himself from the second sentence by saying "You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that I gave an utterance to a threat.  (190) He's trying to convince the reader that whatever he has done to his friend, we know him well enough to know that Fortunato deserved it. So right from the start, we get the feeling he has done something drastic to exact his revenge. The biggest foreshadow of Fortunato's death though lies within this sentence, "I must not only punish but punish with impunity.  (190).

Poe basically tells us that Fortunato is going to die. Another large foreshadow in the story, is Fortunato's sickness. Often in stories sickness is related with death, so it makes
