Perhaps wrestling with Puritanical mores, Hawthorne not only incorporates the new philosophy into his writing, he gives his readers the chance to evaluate for themselves the possibilities of other beliefs.

He believed that each man would act in the same manor. They would both break
into houses unseen, and help themselves to whatever they wanted. The just man

634 Words - 3 Pages.... right off the bat that there is a lot of animosity between the two. The description alone places Fortunato in a higher social standing with an excellent caliber of knowledge, which automatically signifies that Montresor is very jealous of him. Poe’s lack of description on Montresor’s part shows that there is an insecurity about the character and that he feels as though there is nothing note worthy or significant about him.
