One example of verbal irony can be seen when Montresor first sees Fortunato at the carnival and says “My dear Fortunato, you are luckily met,” (Poe 1). This statement is a type of verbal irony because Fortunato is not actually luckily met by Montressor, whose intentions are to murder Fortunato.  

Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

The Cask of Amontillado is a short story written by American writer Edgar Allan Poe and it is about a revenge planned by Montresor against Fortunato, two characters in the story.

Irony is a rhetorical device that shows an incongruity between expectations for a particular situation and what really happens in the story. In this case, the revenge is an example of irony since Montresor lies to Fortunato so Fortunato follows him to the place Montresor kills him. Montresor tells Fortunato that he wants to show him some wine but he really wanted to kill him.
