Sensory imagery in THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO ?
Through out all of Poe's stories he uses imagery to develop the setting. Some imagery from "The Cask of Amontillado" were "It was about dusk, one evening during the supreme madness of carnival season…" he uses that excerpt to establish the time. Later on, the narrator says "…bowed him through several suites of rooms to the archway that led into vaults. I ped down a long and winding staircase, requesting him to be cautious as he followed. We came at length to the foot of the descent, and stood together upon the damp ground of the catacombs of the Montressors." That excerpt develops the setting in the eerie catacombs of the Montressors, the way Poe writes the reader can visualize the actual place.
