“The Cask of Amontillado “also shows heavily theme of alcoholism.Fortunato takes the opportunity to get drunk and that comes back to hurt him in a big way. Montresor is basically able to lead fortunato to his own death because he was drunk and did not know what was going on. This relates to Poe because his death could easily be blamed on him being drunk and getting lead to his death. Since there are many way on how his death happens you cant just blame it on alcohol but you can make a good case that it was.
