“THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong. ”
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, MONTRESSOR!

”But I think he deserved his punishment, dont you?”
No, I don’t think he should have been immured for disobeying the Fat Controller.

It’s like a 5 minute read, and my absolute favorite by Poe!
