Science fiction.1973 p.147 p. 148 | Vonnegut's depiction of science fiction correlating to equality is the absurdity of humanity.[147] The fusion of technology and humanity in this world hinders the capabilities of human variance, causing the destruction of the universe.[148} | |||
A theme presented in the story is the callousness of ventures. Montresor appraises his murder as a successful act of vengeance and punishment rather than a crime.[3] Montresor's motto " No one insults me with impunity", interprets that punishing his offender is a matter of fulfilling his duty of honor before his noble ancestry.[6] |
