Can someone answer but in a direct message

the setting of a story consists of time frame in which the story

takes place. it is pure irony that this story is happening in a carnival, a cheerful,

celebratory time of the year in italy. the location of the carnival season is portrayed

as a disordered, confused atmosphere which also associates with the main

characters’ complex relationship. as the characters travel through the streets

of the carnival to the all-time low of montresor’s underground cemetery, the

atmosphere of the story becomes more gloomy and threatening. it is ironic that

the brightly clothed fortunato is taken from the celebrations, their journey

beneath the palazzo also emblematically represents montresor’s descent into

darkness and shove into the darkness of montresor’s domes to meet his death.   the poor quality of the air, which can hardly

even keep a torch’s flame burning; this foretells fortunato’s death as a dying

flame. this concealed location is picture-perfect setting for a manslaughter.
