Very often, people realize their mistakes, mistakes that they interpret as right on their own, and tend to obscure the consequences with their constraints towards the fault . In the two variant stories, "The Rules of the Game" and "The Cask of Amontillado", the main characters: Waverly Jong and Montresor respectively, represent the case of imperfection. Both Waverly and Montresor chose the wrong path toward resolving their personal conflicts and defied any relationship or consideration for their family and society. Waverly Jong, a young girl living in San Francisco's Chinatown, who learns to play chess on the stake of her candy, and masters the different techniques of chess. On the other, Montresor, who plans to take revenge for the humiliation against Fortunato. These two characters have major similarities, Waverly loses her temper with her mother, as her mother felt proud of her chess champion daughter and made her daughter known in the community, compared to Montresor's murderous intentions due to her humiliation in public by Fortunato. . The law is nowhere on Montresor's radar screen, and the story's enduring horror is punishment without evidence. Montresor uses his subjective experience of Fortunato's insult to appoint himself judge, jury, and executioner in this tale. This action of Montresor differentiates him from Waverly, who is a much superior character compared to Montresor because she does not leave the house, but returns and carefully considers the next step to take to win the argument against her mother. , a truthful young girl who imposed her mother's secret invisible force tactic on herself, but failed to control her temper with this strategy...... middle of paper ... ...s represents the characters in a very particular way. The cowardly Montresor hid his grave crime and ran away from it, while the bold and courageous, if bizarre, Waverly carried out his flaw in public. Legally and ethically, Montresor is the inferior character between the two. Both Waverly and Montresor chose the wrong path toward resolving their personal conflicts and defied any relationship or consideration for their family and society. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes; sometimes people also commit bad deeds, but this does not mean a person's wickedness; in fact, the consequences of the event, as if to cope with its consequences, bring the real characteristics of the person to become familiar with the world.
