Evidence Of Montresor's Criminal Theory

The murder of Fortunato, a very wealthy businessman, is an intriguing case that has yet to be solved. The dead body of Fortunato was uncovered in the catacombs just days after carnival had ended in the streets above. He was trapped in the catacombs; the murderer tied him up and built a wall to surround him causing him to die of dehydration. The theory that my partner formed at the time of the disappearance stated: “Montresor is the last member of an old aristocratic Catholic family that lost its money. Fortunato was a businessman who had recently become wealthy and wasn’t above cheating to make money. Fortunato also was a member of the Masons, a secret Protestant organization Catholics cannot join. These facts explain Montresor’s hatred of

I believe that we have an abundance of evidence proving that Montresor was the guilty suspect in this case and the reasons explained in this theory are very reasonable. Fortunato is part of a secret organization called the Masons, a group that keeps most of their work confidential, although they do make it clear that they don’t like catholics as a whole. Montresor is a known catholic so this could possibly be a motive for Montresor’s crime. The Masons have been known to be right in the mix of several crime scenes in the past, so it is not a surprise discovery that Fortunato is a part of this group. As this theory explains, Montresor’s family has recently lost its fortune. Montresor losing all of his money was absolutely not a mistake.

It is a fact that Montresor likes to drink considering he has found himself at the police station for his drunken behavior over ten recorded times. I believe that Fortunato first got Montresor drunk, then convinced him to buy a large portion of his wine for a lot more than the wine is truly worth. Fortunato insulted Montresor by embezzling a portion of his wealth, Montresor clearly got his revenge on Fortunato by killing him. Montresor’s motive for the murder is obvious. What is needed is proof that Montresor committed the murder himself rather than get someone to do it for him. Hiring someone to do the job for him would be nearly impossible considering Montresor is lacking money and it would be very difficult to find someone that would be willing to commit a crime like that for a low cost. Montresor has a history of aggressive behavior, especially when he is under the influence of alcohol. He was also once a member of the Italian armed
