The cask of Amontillado by Allen Poe




by Sanaa El  Alaoui


            This short story is  about revenge and murder and written with great art as it contains
narration ) the voice of Allen Poe (  , precision ) related literary words(   pace ) continuous rhythm in
telling this brilliant story (  and conflict with two everlasting protagonists .


            Surely , this story is narrated by Poe without giving us  a clue why Montresor wants to kill
Fortunato , two symbolic names carefully chosen by the writer art of telling his story . Fortunato is
an  ironic name that stands for fortune and luck   . In the contrary, Fortunato has no chance to escape
from a terrible death already plotted by Montresor . Montresor is also an ironic name, which means
secret treasure and surely Montresor is too much secretive and an inner person motivated by
revenge and murder and this is revealed by him in this confusing sentence “ The Thousand of
Fortunato I has borne as best I could ; but he ventured upon consult , I vowed revenge “ it means
that Montresor is a well educated person, positioned in good stature , I am injured many times by
Fortunto . Although in filmic adaptations, some filmmakers depicts Fortunato as a slave or valet ) see this link ( . 


            It really depends on how one reads this powerful story .Filmmakers or screenwriters write and
rewrite Allen Poe story according to their own imagination and of course, styles vary in treating the
theme, the structure and the plot of the story.

             In the structure of the story, Montresor works out a plan very carefully to murder Fortunato ,
he must take him to the vault , already a metaphoric place of darkness and buried death of the family
In my point of view , this is the major inciting incident that motivates the writer to lead the
protagonist to the vault . By the way, Montresor is an evil man , an opponent and an antagonist in
the story .


              We have conflict between two characters .One is very drunk, fortunato , and Montrsor  is the master mind of plotting the death of his mate . The mysterious journey takes awhile as Montrsor
tries to convince Fortunato to taste the wine of Amontilado . Fortunado is a man of vanity and pride it is his secret weakness , while Fortunato is a rich man who believes in himself . He knows that his  deed will succeed .He suggests that there is a much better connoisseur for tasting wine and of course  Fortunato , because of his pride, he says that he is the best  connoisseur to taste wine , and  this is  exactly what Montresor wants to hear from his enemy, choosing his own death .

Noise and fury by Abdellah Zerouali




Noise and fury

by Abdellah Zerouali

The current Moroccan cinema is like a baby who cries all the time and starts screaming for no specific reason. We do not know if it's because of his teeth starting to grow, or if he's just hungry. Because in our country, babies are as greedy as adults. At home, there is food and drink, as long as you know how to do it. But those who chose the profession of filmmaker, by vocation, did not know in what galley they were going to sail. Arrivism, favoritism and unfair competition are now commonplace. To situate the phenomenon of cinema in space and time, it seems to me necessary to appeal to historical considerations.


1 / In the middle of the last century (1956) France and Spain renounced their respective protectorates over the Kingdom of Morocco. Popular resistance was for something, but it was not just for that reason. France wanted to devote itself to the Algerian war and Spain wanted to keep the Moroccan Sahara known as "Western Sahara". It was at this time that it was necessary to create a Moroccan cinema, given the popular enthusiasm that would have welcomed it. The population of our country was estimated at only 8 million (now 45 million) and yet the national film attendance was going well. Moroccan television did not exist yet but it would not have changed because the cinemas were programming foreign films of popular and high quality nature.


2 / Today we want to recover the cinemas that have closed their doors and even create others. But we do not know how to do it. Yet it is simple and possible. It would be enough to produce popular films, intended primarily for the general public and not only for festival juries. Unfortunately, when you try to "get the cake and eat it" you always end up having neither one nor the other.
