Name three clever things Montresor does to lure Fortunato into his trap in "The Cask of Amontillado".

One of
the most clever things Montresor does in entrapping Fortunato is to make sure that his intended
victim is not expected at home or anywhere else that night. Montresor twice pretends to believe
that Fortunato has an engagement. First he says:

As you
are  href="https://www.owleyes.org/text/cask-amontillado/read/the-cask-of-amontillado">engaged,
I am on my way to  href="https://www.owleyes.org/text/cask-amontillado/read/the-cask-of-amontillado">Luchesi.
If any one has a critical turn it is he. He will tell me href="https://www.owleyes.org/text/cask-amontillado/read/the-cask-of-amontillado">

This also introduces the idea that if Fortunato should refuse to
accompany Montresor to his palazzo for any reason, Montresor would immediately go to Luchesi to
ask him to judge his wine. Fortunato responds to the mention of Luchesi but not to the
supposition that he is "engaged." Montresor must find out. He wants to leave a cold
trail. If Fortunato is expected anywhere that night, Montresor will probably postpone his
revenge. Again he brings up his enemy's supposed engagement, and this time he gets the
information he wants:

href="https://www.owleyes.org/text/cask-amontillado/read/the-cask-of-amontillado">My
friend, no; I will not impose upon your  href="https://www.owleyes.org/text/cask-amontillado/read/the-cask-of-amontillado">good
nature. I perceive you have an  href="https://www.owleyes.org/text/cask-amontillado/read/the-cask-of-amontillado">engagement
