In nineteenth-century American literature, the remorseless, calculating Italian aristocrat Montresor in Edgar Allan Poe's story, "The Cask of Amontillado" (1846), thinks and behaves very much like a psychopathic personality. Montresor's aristocratic pride and bearing, as well as his concern for preserving and vindicating his reputation, are reminiscent of the duke in Browning's poem, "My Last Duchess".
