Analysis Of The Book The Cask Of Amontillado By Susan...

Although injustice is a common theme throughout the works of C.K. William’s â€Å"The Nail,† Susan Glaspell’s â€Å"Trifles,† and Edgar Allen Poe’s â€Å"The Cask of Amontillado,† there are many different forms in which injustice is expelled. For example, the injustice in Poe’s â€Å"The Cask† is dissimilar from the injustice found in Glaspell’s â€Å"Trifles,† and William’s â€Å"The Nail† in the sense that â€Å"The Cask† talks about injustice in the form of one man murdering another without a clear, justly motive.
