Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
This is of course a horror story, with themes of betrayal and revenge!. Poe as you know was somewhat disturbed in his mind, and he let this into his writings!.

The symbolism is that you can't blindly give trust, and that your past acts will affect your future!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not going to do your homework for you, but I really like the story, "THE Cask of Amontillado"!. Symbolism can be taken many different ways!. The story is scary as hell!. For me, it represents how the stupid things you do come back and bite you in the ***!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

well the meaning of the story would be "you can't always trust who you think are your friends"
"revenge is sweet"
etc!.!.!.
