lucky and good at avoiding misfortune

Upon running Fortunato early in the story, Montresor says, "It was about dusk, one evening during the supreme madness of the carnival season, that I encountered my friend. He accosted me with excessive warmth" Why would Poe use the word "accosted" instead of "greeted" in this sentence, even though Montresor refers to him as a "friend?"

"Greeted" carries more positive connotations, so using this instead of "accosted" would lesson Montresor's true feelings of ill-will towards Fortunato.

"Greeted" carries more positive connotations, so using this instead of "accosted" would better reinforce the friendship between Montresor and Fortunato.

"Greeted" is a more positive word.

"Greeted" is a more formal word, so it would make Montresor seem more trustworthy.
