Montresor ends up killing Fortunato. Montresor is a cruel, insane, and evil person. Montresor is cruel for the way he punishes his friend. Montresor acts as though he cares for Fortunato. While in the cavern, Montresor asks Fortunato numerous times if he would like to turn back and go home. Fortunato says no because he has decided that he wants to test the Amontillado.
