The name fortunato means ‘fortunate.' in 150 words or more, describe how the author uses the difference between the meaning of the character’s name and the actual events that he experiences to build suspense throughout "the cask of amontillado".

The author uses the word "fortunato" for his character's name but made all events act against his favor.

Explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado" shows Montresor taking revenge on his friend Fortunato for the many insults and disgraces he had inflicted on him. Montresor led him to his catacombs and caved him in alive.

The name "Fortunato" means "fortunate, blessed" etc. But the author rather uses irony to seal the fate of the one named "fortunate'. In fact, he is far from blessed or fortunate, for he ended up being killed, fooled by his greed or interest of wine.

The ironical use of the character's name alongside his fate comprises the plot of the story. Judging by the name, the character of Fortunato was supposed to have a good life and future in the story. But rather, his character had been all along quite the opposite of what his name means. The author named him Fortunato but the events that were supposed to be in his favor all acted against him. Like for instance, when Montresor told him about the special wine of Amontillado, he must have felt fortunate to be asked for his 'expertise' opinion about the wine. But as the scene goes along, it was just a ploy to lure him in the catacombs, towards his own fateful death.
