Horrifically beautiful Work
I had to read this Short Story in my honors Freshmen ELA class. I thought it was a morbid story about Petty Revenge. But I love how The Narrator is so passionate about getting revenge. It makes you truly think about what Fortunato said or did to insult Him.
Overall I really Enjoyed reading this.
Great
