The Cask of Amontillado How does Edgar Allan Poe use imagery in The Cask of Amontillado? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 03:54 Last updated by anonymous on 16 Sep 21:37
In The Cask of Amontillado Poe uses light to depict the slow descent of Montressor into his more base an animalistic nature. The cellar starts with light, then dwindles until even the torches can't penetrate the darkness.
