The terror of “The Cask of Amontillado,” as in many of Poe’s tales, resides in the lack of evidence that accompanies Montresor’s claims of Fortunato’s “thousand injuries” and “insult.” The story features revenge and secret murder as a way to avoid using legal channels for retribution. Law is nowhere on Montresor’s—or Poe’s—radar screen, and the enduring horror of the story is the fact of a punishment without proof. Montresor uses his subjective experience of Fortunato’s insult to name himself judge,...

Within the last ten to fifteen years, shows like South Park, Family Guy, Futurama, and American Dad have been creating huge crowds of followers. These shows are unique in that they are animated, and animation allows for greater freedom of expression and more watering down[footnoteRef:10] of what may seem offensive when real actors are used – things like violence, bodily functions, and even stereotypes are depicted with less grit[footnoteRef:11] than would be in real life.
