Fortunato puts his arm around the count and tells him he has time to go to the catacombs to try the amontillado. What meaning can viewers infer from the Fortunato's statement, " I have the whole afternoon to kill."?
A. He only means that he has the afternoon free. B. The inferred meaning is that he might intend to kill the Count. C.The inferred meaning is that Fortunato wants the count to take him hunting on the property.​
The answer is B. The inferred meaning is that he might intend to kill the count. The reason being is because the other answers simply don’t apply to the whole story of The Cask of Amontillado, and in the story, he does kill him. Hope this helps !
