Explanation

Montresor kills Fortunato by immurement, which means to enclose or entomb someone alive within a confined space. This is a method of murder where the victim is trapped and left to die slowly from lack of food, water, or air. In Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado," Montresor lures Fortunato into the catacombs and walls him up in a niche, sealing him off from the outside world. This method of killing is particularly cruel and torturous, as the victim is left to suffer in darkness and isolation until death.
