Most of what I remember from seventh grade English is: A short story must have a conflict. It can be a conflict between man and nature, man and man, or man and himself. To which I always added: Women are not permitted in short stories except as the object of the conflict.
But, I don't remember reading "The Cask of Amontillado" in school. "The Tell-Tale Heart," I'm pretty sure we did.
