1. Characterization. Poe describes the character of Fortunato in just a couple of sentences.

2. Setting. In this passage the author creates the macabre ambient and scenery that normally represents his short stories.  

3. Tragic resolution. Even though it sounds ironic, this phrase said by Fortunato wasn't meant to be sarcastic, he is serious when he says he won't die of a cough. The tragic resolution of the character is actually what makes this passage sound ironic, Fortunato doesn't know he's about to die, a much more horrible death.

"The cask of Amontillado" is the story of a fatal person taking revenge on his friend thinking that his friend has insulted him. Scholars noticed that Montresor's reasons for revenge are unclear and that he may simply be insane.
