Fortunato's characterization builds his personality and that affects the plot, because it shows the difference between him and Montresor, as well as facilitating the way Montresor attracts and deceives him.

This question is about "The Cask of Amontillado" written by Edgar Alan Poe. By reading this story, we can see that:

Fortunato is a friend of Montresor.His characterization shows him as someone who gets drunk easily and who likes to party.This shows how Fortunato is sociable, popular, and likely to do wrong things when drunk.This personality makes Fortunato act negatively towards Montressor.The story doesn't show what he did, but it was something serious enough to make Montressor mad.This causes the Montresor to devise a plan to kill Fortunato.This plan makes it easy to carry out, as Fortunato's drunkenness makes it easy for the Montresor to trick him, lure him to the crime scene, and kill him.

With that, we can affirm that the characterization of Fortunato is not only important to create an image of him for the reader, but it is important for the story's advance.

The characterization of Fortunato speaks a lot about his personality. He is a drunkard and loves to wear jester-clothes. This characterization has its affects as because of his drunkardness, Montresor was able to lure him.

Explanation:

'The Cask of Amontillado' is a short Gothic story written by Edgar Allan Poe.

Fortunato is another main character in the story and the character on whom Montressor avenge himself. He's been described by Montressor in the story.

He is a 'wine-expert' which characterizes him as a drunkard. It was due to his addiction towards wine because of which he was caught in Montressor'ss trap for his own death. Montressor, cleverly, approaches Fortunato to help him to tasting of a rare wine which Montressor was able to get through a pipe.

Another characterization of Fortunato was his sense of dressing, he loves wearing jester-clothes.. When Montressor met him at carnival he was wearing a motley jester. His sense of wearing reveals that he is a 'funny fellow.' Even at the beginning of the story, Montressor states that Fortunato has 'inflcted him with thousand injuries.'

These characterization of Fortunato helps the plot of the story reach it's conclusion, death of Fortunato. If he would not have been addicted to wine, Montressor would not have been able to lure him into his death trap. If he would not have been insensitive, he would not have 'caused Montressor thousand injuries which led Montressor to avenge on him.
