Suddenly, they heard a voice coming from a well, and they discovered an old man trapped on it. It is important to mention that in the short story the kids decided to not help the man, however they do feed him and interact with him. In my opinion, the decision these kids made of not helping him, were based on the fear of what the man would do when he goes out of the well. The innocence and cruelty of the children motivated the man in the well to keep asking for
On the eighth night, just when he is about to enter the room, he accidently makes a little noise and the old man wakes up. The narrator gets furious when he sees the eye. He finally kills him. He then cuts the body into pieces and hide them under the loose boards in the floor. Smart enough, the narrator cuts the body in the bathtub in order to ensure that no blood remained in the floor. When the policemen arrived to talk to him about the scream heard by one of his neighbors, he talks to them nicely and tells them that the old man has gone to the town. The policemen were also unsuspicious about the whole incident. Even after carrying the whole plot so much effectively, he hears the sound of the dead man’s heartbeat and could not help himself but confess about the murder to the policemen. This shows that the mental condition of the narrator was
There was also a respected authority in the story. The old man is resected in the story. He is respected for many things. One thing he is respected for is that he is a hard working man. He worked hard for 85 days trying to catch a Marlin. The Marlin the old man was trying to catch was a giant fish that was hard to catch. Another example of him being a respected figure also falls under hard work. The old man got some to no sleep for three days because the Marlin was hooked. The old man was probably tired and couldn’t continue. This Marlin was his main priority. Last example of him being a respected figure was at the end of the book. When the old man came upon shore and multiple people came to him. The fact he was able to catch the marlin was incredible to many people. Including the boy who used to be on his boat with the old man. The boy was so surprised and excited to see the old man with the marlin. The boy didn’t even go on the boat with him to help the old man with the
The narrator murders an old man who he is meant to be taking care of. He claims to have nothing against the man and says that he loves him. Regardless of this, he finds the mans filmy, vulture-like eye to be disturbing and thinks this is a valid enough reason to kill him. Montresor feels insulted by his colleague, Fortunado and believes that it is now his duty to end his life. Both claim to not have anything against his victim other than one small detail, being either and eye or an insult, and feel that they are justified in wanting them dead.They both meticulously plan out what they are going to do to their victim long before they carry out their actions. Neither the old man or Fortunado had any idea that their murderer had any reason to want them dead and had no way of anticipating what was doing to happen to them. The narrator smothers the old man with his mattress, chops up his body, and stuffs him in the floorboards. Montresor leads a very d...
There are many reasons as to why the man in the well was made up. After the children found this man, they never spoke of the man to anyone other than the other kids that were at the well with them. None of the children’s parents were ever informed of the man that was trapped. The only thing that the children were worried about was learning more about this man. The children asked him simple questions, though. They asked what his name was and if there was water in the well, but they never asked how he got in the well or how long he had been in there.

The narrator is angered by their belief that he's not able, at his young age, to make his own decisions as to his acquaintances and he should "run about and play with young lads of his own age ..." That night, images of death haunt him; he attempts make light of the tormenting face of the deceased priest by "smiling feebly" in hopes of negating his dreadful visions. The following evening, his family visits the house of the old priest and his two caretakers, two sisters, where he lies in wake.

On realizing it was a dead individual, the villagers brought the dead man back to one of the village houses to tend to him for burial. The village that had stone courtyards without flowers would normally be quiet, but there was a commotion because of the dead man. The men thought it was merely the women filled with grief,
