"The Cask of Amontillado Part 2" by Edgar Allan Poe (story reading)

[kaito6521]

this saves me sooo much more time to do the questions for english...woot!

[1godofssbm]

Loved it im still trying to figure out wat fortunato did to montressor... For such a magnificent and well planned homicide

[esa414]

um just a passive question , if hes doing the second part how come i cant find the first one being done by him also.. as it seems rather strange for him to do the second part before or the first or not do the first part at all..anyway i shall end my ramblings..

[Deke101]

@esa414 He DID do the first part. Look above at the video response.

[TheMagnificentTrio]

Why would someone kill somebody over insults

[Tr0llinginthedeep]

@TheMagnificentTrio By insults Poe means wrongdoings, the man he killed did him very wrong and he was getting revenge. He led him into the catacomb, chained him up, and buried him alive. Then he laid the bricks and stacked the bones up so it looked as if nothing had happened.

[BlinJe]

Your voice does the piece such justice.

I am sat enthralled and utterly terrified!

[missash70]

I love the trend to Allan Poe's stories.

Normally they're about murdering someone and then the body is hidden in part of a building (behind a wall in a cellar [the black cat], in the floorboards [the tell-tale heart], or in a niche [the cask of amontillado]) and the narrator is very confident in his job of concealing his victim and then it is always undone by some object mentioned throughout (cat, heart-ticking, jingle). Of course this one is a bit different but yeah. Gotta love EAP!

[edrdavenport78]

@M40Hawkeye Fool! Poe is the most creepy, intence, horrifying author to live!

[gamfaq1001]

its basically written murder

still fantastic story

[JNM1220]

Excellent Reading! :)

[PhoenixDjinni96]

our english teacher was reading this short story to us. he read in a cool american-european accent... of course we all laughed when he yelled copying Fortunado's reaction ''the amontillado!! ejaculated my friend'' 2:39 he explained that it used to mean screaming or yelling

[belmontprince]

@M40Hawkeye I'm surprised you can even read. 

[blsk121]

This book is gay I didn't even get it

[positronicum97]

@blsk121 then try reading it again. pay attention to symbolism and theme, then you might "get", or appreciate it. if it doesnt please you after a fair analyisis, then its just your personal opinion, which is completely fine.

[kaezerky09]

for me It is more understandable like this than reading it myself. Thanks SpokenVerse. Gonna Get to my book report.

[bellala333]

@SpokenVerse  ha! I'd give two thumbs up to this if I were allowed!

[lmfreels]

@M40Hawkeye

Your "education" thus far has obviously failed you. Insulting a piece of literature that you do not have to competence to appreciate only furthers the notion that you are an idiot.

[MrJRIVER20]

Great job, I wish I can get a copy for my self !

[zsedc4]

@SpokenVerse I have to agree with Spoken here. You really are a fool. And I condemn you for it in my mind and here for everyone to see. Have a good day.

[VERONICA1977]

That was real good, I read along with the voice.

[pantherz83]

@SpokenVerse burn!

Thanks for this by the way, using it for my English class next week.

[steely696]

This certainly was an INCREDIBLE performance bravo

[vossmasta]

@M40Hawkeye fuck you

[MaxKrane]

Incredible reading :) Thank you very much x

[Moontheblueneko]

it seems that edgar allen poe has a trend of burrying people alive.

[cha5]

@Moontheblueneko Quite a few of Poe's stories have that as a theme,

"Within the wall thus exposed by the displacing of the bones, We perceived a still interior recess, in depth about four feet, in width three, in height six or seven"

What will become Fortunato's tomb is in width and height a coffin.

[maincourseistoocool]

doesn't fortunato seem kinda mean to any one else

[belisariusorb]

Fantastic cadence, beautiful and understated intonation.

More Poe please!

[heartsophocles]

I absolutely love when you do Edgar Allan Poe.

Great Job!

[Temorablue]

Great reading of a great story.

[2fej]

"There came forth in return only a jingling of the bells. My heart grew sick - on account of the dampness of the catacombs."

haunting lines that have been burned into my mind since the first time I read this story. EAP rocks!

[KnightHawkXIV]

All through the day, I was playing in my head the ending of this story. It was even more creative than I imagined. Thank you so much!

[UnionKid15]

Thank you for posting this! Great poem, great poet, though a bit insane, LOL.
