At the time the narration of the story takes place, Montressor is looking back on events that took pace about fifty years ago, so it is pretty clear he has already grown old.
I believe that he is telling the story to his confessor ("You who know me so well") in the Catholic Church. If he can convince the confessor that he has repented he will receive absolution. I don't believe he has repented. I believe he continues to rejoice in his revenge, even though we readers may realize that the "wrongs" done by Fortunato are imaginary.
By the way the names "Fortunato" and "Montressor" both mean "fortunate one."
Good luck with the rest of your paper.

Did you know that this story is based off of a real event? The author was enlisted in the military. Now there was this 'bully', and this young cadet. Now the bully challenged the cadet to a duel in which the cadet was killed. The 'bully' was inhebriated so that he would not resist. They found a chamber and sealed him up in there. No retaliation against the vendetta took place.
There was another story called "The Tell Tale Heart" where the main character doesn't like the eye of an old man that he lives with, so he divises a way to kill him. When the police come to inspect, he gets so overcome with anguish and regret that he shows the police the evidence, though he would have been successful with the crime. Edgar Allen Poe's sotries are all centered around death and macabre emotions, so I believe something similar might take place in this story.

Fortunato insults Montresor one too many times, so he came up sith a way to pay him back. Note the fact that he said to be elusive with your plans. For a crime is unredressed when the one seeking revenge is punished, it is also unredressed when the one seeking revenge fails to carry it out to it's full extent. He tricks Fortunato into believing that he has Amontillado and lures him into some chambers(Fortunato is drunk, and Montresor gave him that wine to treat his 'cold'). Fortunato wakes up chained up and Montresor started to seal up the chamber with bricks. When there was one brick left, he threw in a torch and placed the last brick.
Now I believe that the ghost of Fortunato will haunt you.

I think he will grow old and die. The Xtians (and most other religious groups) will think his soul will go to hell and he will suffer for all eternity. The rest of us will believe that he's dead and that's the end of it. And we all have to decide for ourselves if he was a bad guy or a good guy and whether or not he felt haunted by guilt and suffered for his crimes.
