Setting in "The Cask of Amontillado" How does Poe use setting to prepare us for the inevitable death of Fortunato?

The crypt is
important, of course.  It's creepy and should make us think about both death and excess. 
However the carnival in Italy matters too.  Everyone is in costume, they are drunk and having a
good time, so their guard is down.
