1. How is Edgar Allan Poe's life mirrored in his writings? (Poe had a very sad and miserable life. How does he show this in "The Cask of Amontillado"?) Give examples from the story to back up your response. Poe does have a sad life and he shows it in his poems and writings. Poe vents his feelings and life through whatever he has experienced. It shows events that has happened, even if it’s a totally different thing he’s talking about. Like in the Cast of Amontillado, (the author) shows how he’s been insulted and he want revenge on the person who has insulted him. So in Poe’s actual life he might have been insulted but decided to write his revenge for it. Also, maybe he has revenge for those who have entered his life and were never suppose to be there so he tells about wanting revenge on that person whon “insulted” him.
