Q

Read the excerpt by Edgar Allan Poe and answer the questions below.

  The injuries of Fortunato, I had borne as I could but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge. You who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely settled, but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved, precluded the idea of risk. I must only punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is undressed when retribution overtakes its redressers. It is equally underdressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who was done him wrong.

Except from The Cask of Amontillado – Edgar Allan Poe
