Montressors' coat of arms represented an eye for an eye leaves the world blind, something with two snakes.

A huge human foot d'or, in a field azure;

the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are embedded in the heel.

The motto is: Nemo me impune lacessit or No one provokes me with impunity.

Definition of heraldic terms: - d'or (should be Or): golden

- azure: blue

- rampant: (of an animal) rearing

Montresor's family motto and coat of arms are important in "The Cask of Amontillado" as symbols of his family's heritage and pride. These symbols reflect Montresor's sense of identity and belonging to his noble lineage, motivating his desire for revenge against Fortunato for perceived insults. Additionally, the motto "Nemo me impune lacessit" (“No one assails me with impunity”) foreshadows Montresor's determination to seek vengeance without fear of consequences.
