The impression of the story "The Cask Of Amontillado" by E.A.Poe

The story was rather difficult for me, so I used sometimes a russian variant of this text.
THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO (eng)
THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO (rus)
The plot of the story is horrifying. It amazed me that a man is able to revenge on his enemy so violently and coolly. As a result the end of the story makes me sad. I thought that finally both of characters appear before readers as good and sympathetic personages, as it was in "Makes the whole world kin". I hoped that they have their own life story which can justify their cruelty. But the end was dreadful. Because of the fact, that we don't know what mutual relations between two men were before this incident in the cave, I can't say it was reasonable and justified act. A victim and an aggressor trade places. And among two personages there is no one I sympathize with. So this story was interesting to read but I waited for another end.
