Write a paper about the cask of amontillado

Read the following excerpt from “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe. [Fortunato:] “Amontillado!” [Montresor:] “As you are engaged, I am on my way to Luchesi. If any one has a critical turn, it is he. He will tell me-” [Fortunato:] “Luchesi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry.” [Montresor:] “And yet some fools will have it that his taste is a match for your own.” [Fortunato:] “Come, let us go.” [Montresor:] “Whither?” [Fortunato:] “To your vaults.” [Montresor:] “My friend, no; I will not impose upon your good nature. I perceive you have an engagement. Luchesi-” [Fortunato:] “I have no engagement;-come.” [Montresor:] “My friend, no. It is not the engagement, but the severe cold with which I perceive you are afflicted. The vaults are insufferably damp. They are encrusted with niter.” [Fortunato:] “Let us go, nevertheless. The cold is merely nothing. Amontillado! You have been imposed upon. And as for Luchesi, he cannot distinguish Sherry from Amontillado.” Based on this conversation, the reader can infer that Fortunato does not think Luchesi knows enough about wine to tell if the Amontillado is real. Is this characterization direct or indirect? Why?
