5. how does the setting contribute to the horror of the story?
There is a big carnival going on. Everybody is making merry. There are fireworks, music and crowds. Montressor takes Frontunato down to the caverns/catacombs where the dead are buried. It is a dark and lonely place. Where there is much life above ground, there is only death below.
