Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
Montresor is an unreliable narrator. He tells the story to justify and glorify his calculated murder, repeatedly framing events to make his revenge seem necessary while omitting or distorting facts (for example, he never shows concrete proof of Fortunato’s supposed "insult"), and his extreme pride and possible madness suggest his perspective is biased and untrustworthy. Poe uses this unreliability to create dramatic irony and unease, leaving readers to question what really happened and why.
