The Cask of Amontillado and A Rose for Emily

I chose to use the fiddling stories The barrel of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe, and A rise for Emily, by William Faulkner. The 2 be similar in that in both of these stories the main(prenominal) characters get away with premeditate eat up. Emily, in A Rose for Emily, murders her companion, homer Barron.

In comparison, Emily also prepares for her murder by purchasing the white arsenic used in the intoxication of her husband Homer Barron. Emily does not seem to show self-reproach for actions. In fact, she sleeps with Homers dead ashes in a mode decorated as a bridal suite. Both Montresor and Emily accept to keep their murderous acts to themselves and they did not seem to care if their dupe was truly aware of why they were being punished. Emily keeps her murder a secret from the entire township for decades. We learn this when Homer, or what was remaining of him was rotted beneath what was left over(p) of the nightshirt. We have to wonder if Homer ever knew what was coming. At the end of The Cask of Amontillado, Fortunato is aware of what is occurrence to him and who is doing it, although he p robably did not understand why.\nWh...
