Fortunato

Here is a wonderful article about Fortunato.  Fortunato means fortunate or lucky.  However in "The Cask of Amontillado" he turns out to be about the most unlucky fellow around.  He has slighted and made an enemy of Montresor and because of this he is buried alive. 

But the question is, what did he do?  Did it deserve death?  Did it merit gasping out his last breaths in agony and lonely despair?  The story doesn't tell us.
