In Poe's story Montressor has his plans thought out of how to get Fortunato to come to his wine cellar. Montressor tells Fortunato that he ahs bought some Amontillado but isn't sure if it's really Amontillado, and that he is going to take it to Luchesi to have him taste it. Fortunato opposes this idea because "Luchesi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry." This iswhat Montressor uses the most

In O'Connor's story we see a family that is getting ready to go on vacation.This would set a happy tone because vacations are pleasurable, like for Fortunato tasting the Amontillado would be pleasurable. O'Connor puts the reader in a house with a normal family that has no problems, making the setting similar to the cheery carnival season that is in Poe's story. Neither story shows any evidence of something bad happening. Then, the grandmother reads an article in the paper about The Misfit. This will later come into play at the end of the story when she is pleading for her life. The next scene that O'Connor gives us is in the car where the family is on their way to Tennessee. They are heading to where they are going on vacation so this would make for a seemingly happy ending.

When Fortunato is being trapped inside the wall, it's very similar
