Themes

- Freedom and Confinement
- The contrast between freedom and confinement is extreme, . Most of the story takes
place in a vast and incredibly foul-smelling underground graveyard. Freedom becomes
less and less of a possibility as the characters move into smaller and smaller crypts while
on the other hand, confinement makes both the readers and the characters appreciate
the deliciousness of fresh air.

- Betrayal
- Betrayal drives the action in the story. One characters betrayal
sets off a hideous chain of retribution and revenge.

- Drugs and Alcohol
- The only literal drug that we can identify in “The Cask of Amontillado” is wine. But there are
many other drugs circulating between the lines. “Drugs,” in this story, can be anything the
characters want badly enough to do awful or foolish things for.
