Drifting like clouds, smoke continuously poured out of my cigar. Tapping my feet and biting my lips I observed all the clues of the murder, I clenched my fists and flipped through the numerous pages of information. Abruptly, I heard a knock at the door and calmly told the person to come in. Expectedly, Al, my co-worker lent me updated information about the murder of my partner, I signaled him my thanks and told him that he may leave. Creaking, the door shuts lightly and I focused back onto my work, eventually I had the urge for revenge and set out to assassinate the man myself. Quickly, I wore my coat and hat and left my office, I glanced at the sky and spotted a few raindrops on my way to my house. Upon entering I unlocked the basement door

There is also an imprint of the supposed homicidal murderer on one of the walls and the cash register has just been rung up at $8.75.

The narrator smothers the old man with his mattress, chops up his body, and stuffs him in the floorboards. Montresor leads a very d...

  • 8th Amendment

    1010 Words  | 3 Pages

    The planning and decision involved in his crime, as shown by the first quote where the narrator says that he had an uncontrollable urge to kill the old man and eventually decided to do it shows that the murder involves malice and was premeditated. The second quote depicts the narrator describing the scene subsequent to the execution of his plan. He says that the old man was as dead as a stone and that he killed him. This is strongly aggravating evidence as it shows that the narrator knew that he killed him and that the narrator was fully aware, fully aware, that he had killed him.

    It is really upsetting and scary to know there are people like him, killing people with no remorse. He was unapologetic, expressionless, and cold. I saw the short video first. In it he talked about his crimes like we would talk about the weather. After seeing it I thought to myself, "He is a MONSTER!" (Even though I don't believe in the death penalty) "Yes he should get the death penalty." I was really upset, I cried.

I lived with my father who hated me and was abusive. I understand his anger and the unfairness of being treated like that from a parent, who are
