1. Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration to make a point. Look at the first paro-
graph. What phrase used by the narrator is an example of hyperbole? Write
down the full sentence that includes the hyperbolic element. Does this line
make you more sympathetic or less toward the narrator/murderer? Why?

Explanation:

The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge." Obviously, Fortunato hasn't harmed Montresor a full 1,000 times. the line makes me less sympathetic because I can't imagine Fortunato has done anything so terrible as to deserve a brutal killing.
