Poe and Dolan's Cadillac

Dolan's Cadillac is another example of Edgar Allan Poe's influence on Stephen King. King honored Poe's short story The Tell Tale Heart with his short story The Old Dudes Ticker. Dolan's Cadillac is shows the markings of the Cask of “The Cask of Amontillado."

Just some quick notes:
.
1. Both are stories of revenge.
2. Both use the idea of being buried alive. Dolan in his car, Fortunato is buried in the wall.
3. Both are told in the first person.
4. Both Dolan and Fortunato die very slowly.
5. Both Fortunato and Dolan have similiar pleas:
.
Poe writes:
“For the love of God, Montresor!”
“Yes”, I said, “for the love of God!”
.
King writes:
“For the love of God!” he shrieked. “For the love of God, Robinson!”
“Yes,” I said, smiling. “For the love of God.”
