In "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Poe, explain three ways that Montresor manipulates others during the course of the story.

Montresor spends his energy primarily manipulating
Fortunato.

First, when Montresor meets Fortunato, knowing
that the other man loves fine wines, he hooks the other man's interest by saying that he
has bought a rare cask (container) of amontillado. He appeals to Fortunato superior
skills as a connoisseur to accompany him so that Fortunato can tell Montresor whether he
has been tricked in the transaction.

The second way
Montresor manipulates Fortunato is by pretending that he is willing to ask Luchesi
(another connoisseur of fine wines) to check the amontillado if Fortunato is too busy.
Fortunato's ego will not allow him to consider letting Montresor share the wine with
anyone else, and so he insists upon going with Montresor.

A
third way Montresor manipulates Fortunato is by repeatedly asking after his health as
they move deeper into the catacombs beneath Montresor's palazzo. Montresor acts
concerned and asks many times if Fortunato will not return above ground for the sake of
his health, but he also gives Fortunato more to drink. Under these circumstances, and
the repeated references to the amontillado, Fortunato refuses to
leave.

In these ways, Montresor convinces Fortunato to
willingly proceed to his own death.
