Irony/sarcasm, Setting, Characterization, Tragic resolution"

Answer:

Tragic resolution

Explanation:

It is possible to perceive a tragic resolution within a story, when the end reveals a catastrophic situation, such as the death of a hero or important character who concludes the entire narrative.

As we know, the passage cited above, refers to "The Cask of Amontillado", written by Edgar Allan Poe. This book tells the story of a man who wants to trap his enemy inside a wall, letting him die slowly and torturously. The excerpt shown in the question above shows the moment when this man manages to complete his desire, thus providing a tragic resolution for the story.

Against the new masonry I reerected the old rampart [wall] of bones. For the half of a century no mortal has disturbed them. In pace requiescat [Rest in peace]
