thinking thinking,,, keep thinking,,,,

so imagine the bathroom boys become something more than just background characters and the main cast actually starts interacting with them and it's basically just "why do you look like him"

Duke: You look like the guy who killed me.

Will: You look like the guy who probably killed me.

Berenice: You look like the guy who killed our sugar daddy.

Bathroom boys: what

Luca may be Luchesi from the Cask of Amontillado [nevermore analysis post]

‼️ Disclaimer : I am not a litterature analyst and and english isn't my first language. If I misunderstood some of the text please let me know.

So I have finally read the two stories Duke's character is based on : The Cask of Amontillado and The Duc De L'Omlette. I'll be honest, I was looking for a character that might parallel to Luca, even slightly.

The first thing that caught my attention is obviously the name — I find that Luchesi kind of sounds like Luca — but also the evident rivalry between Fortunato and Luchesi.

While Luchesi is only mentionned and does not appear directly, Montresor uses his name in order to trick Fortunato into following him. He seems to know that by daring Fortunato he can make him do anything.

(I think Duke has trouble refusing a dare — it’s kind of what Luca does here : even if he's probably trying to make fun of Duke (or look down on him), Duke takes it as a dare to try a more dramatic trick (aka the knife throwing))

Now what could this tell us about Luca ? In the Cask of Amontillado, Montresor is the one that kills Fortunato by locking him behind a wall. Luchesi is not the killer, but the mention of his name and his rivalry with Fortunato are decisive factors in the events that lead to Fortunato's death.

Whether Luca killed Duke or not, assuming he is inspired by Luchesi would mean that he is still tied to Fortunato's death in one way or another.

I was also looking for a motive, something that might explain Duke's murder. Rivalry, sure. The Cask of Amontillado seems to be full of it (whether it's the Fortunato/Montresor rivalry or the Fortunato/Luchesi rivalry).

But if you've read it, you'll know that this is how it starts :

Fortunato has offended Montresor in some way. Precisely what he said is not revealed. This works well with the idea that Duke might have said something to someone (potentially Luca) that might have constituted an offense and led them to murder.

I often think about this post that analyses Duke's behavior, and there's some key ideas i'd like to mention in order to further my point :

Duke often gets carried away and he himself does not understand when its time to knock it off.

Duke should understand when he crosses the limit but he doesn't unless told so.

Another thing worth noting is that in the story, Fortunato does not realise that Montresor hates him. The same way Duke does not realise Luca (or whoever killed him) hates him until it is too late.

My theory, is that it wasn’t a simple rivalry : there was a true turning point, an offense that, like the one in the Cask of Amontillado, was grave enough to be a motive of murder.

This is purely speculation but I think the knife scene is also foreshadowing of their story.

The first knife throw is hesitant. Luca does not want to hurt him. It lands far. Then Duke provokes him.

The second knife throw is angrier. The knife lands closer. I don’t think Duke’s words really count as “provocation” but i think in Luca’s words the “a bit more to the left” and “much better” still feel like mocking ? Does that make sense ?

The third knife throw doesn’t have any hesitation left. The knife nearly hits Duke.

Whether Luca is the killer or plays a part in the murder (like Luchesi’s name being a key element in Fortunato’s death), I believe their rivalry was made of Luca’s anger (perhaps linked to his fathers approval), every time increased by something Duke did that nearly crossed the line.

A metaphorical cycle of knife throws and provocations, until the knife hits.

If Luca is Luchesi than he might not be the killer (i will develop my doubts about Luca being the murderer in another post), but he played a part in Dukes death.

Directly or indirectly, Luca Fauntleroy has blood on his hands. The question remains, how much ?

I also have A LOT to say about Duke & Montresor parallels as well as stuff from The Duc De L'Omlette but I’ll save that for another post.

Hey percy, do y' think that maybe y' and luca are bfs?yer are a good relationship if u ask m'

@montresor-genderbend-cowboygirl

Oh! B-boys—boyfriends?! N-no, no, no, that is a most unexpected question!

Luca and I—well, we share a rather… complicated camaraderie, you could say.

A sort of… beautifully chaotic friendship, filled with bickering, banter, and occasional accidental acts of kindness.

But boyfriends? I-I—hmm, I never really thought of it that way. It’s… rather a flattering idea, though! I’m sure Luca would protest vehemently, but perhaps deep down, he might be quietly amused.

We have our moments of companionship, certainly—his mischief and my, uh, frequent fainting spells do keep things interesting. He’s a bit grumpy, but beneath that, he’s remarkably kind. And I dare say I feel safer with him nearby, even if his idea of fun sometimes borders on reckless!

So, uh, thank you for the kind words about us! It means a great deal. And if anything ever does happen, well… I’ll be sure to write a sonnet about it

Yours nervously but sincerely —Percy
