How about "The Cask of Amontillado"?
Answered by Reed
Compared in what way? Story-telling technique, plot, use of literary devises?
Answered by Anonymous
Compared in any way possible, or at least 3 of the six.

Elements that you might include in your comparison include the following:
• Theme
• Structure of story
• Use of figurative language, literary elements, motif, and imagery
• Characterization
• Element of fear
• Historical basis


I'll try The Cask of Amontillado

I think you could compare and contrast any two of his stories. I rather like "The Fall of the House of Usher".

Remember -- to compare is to tell how they are similar, but to contrast is to tell how they are different.
