In a well-supported paragraph, explain how Poe uses verbal irony in "The Cask of
Amontillado” to emphasize the evil intentions of Montresor. Be sure to:
• Create a sentence that introduces your topic.
• Cite textual examples of verbal irony.
• Include commentary sentences that explain the importance or the effect of
the irony.
• Use appropriate parallel structure of multiple ideas within a sentence.
