Poe writes this story from the perspective of Montresor who vows revenge against Fortunato in an effort to support his time-honored family motto: "Nemo me impune lacessit" or "No one assails me with impunity." (No one can attack me without being punished.) Poe does not intend for the reader to sympathize with Montresor because Fortunato has wronged him, but rather to judge him. Telling the story from Montresor's point of view, intensifies the effect of moral shock and horror. Once again, the reader is invited to delve into the inner workings of a sinister mind. .....

As compensation for their sins, they are being held under the control of the demons, and are also being tortured continually. This continual suffering also accounts for the surplus time these sinners had in manipulating others. In the Second Pouch, flatterers are punished by being made to live in an abysmal pit of excrement. Flatterers are sycophants who try to use insincere and excessive praise to look good in other people’s eyes. These false attentions and comments are commonly called "bull-*censored*" in slan .....

Instead, they are cast out from society for being different. states that, "Introspection ("the obscure reveries/of the inward gaze") in this age is unthinkable." This means that the people are afraid to examine their own thoughts and feeling because they are afraid of what they will see. T.S.

This is a very cowardly ill-advisable action. Romeo also presents to us the fact that he is a quitter. "Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say "death." This is just one example to prove that Romeo likes to find scapegoats to solve his problems. Rather than stick around and face his problems, Romeo wants to just kill himself and get it over with. That is a definite lack of mental strength. Suicide is never a rational decision. It is alrea .....

Decartes Vs. Russell On Whether The Self Is An Object And The Mind Stability
Number of words: 445 - Number of pages: 2.... in the conscience.
I sway towards Descartes on this issue. I don't see the logic in the self changing for every new sense of data. If this was true , wouldn't every other object we looked at be new to us? Descartes argument for existing is much more believable, for the simple fact that if we think anything we must exist. I think are minds do have stability.

I think that memory is also proof that there is only one self, because if you have a new self for every new sequence of data it would be impossible to have a memory. If memory .....
