The Masque of The Red Death

I think people like to read scary books and watch scary movies to have entertainment and pleasure. I think the prince threw a party wihle the plague was around because he wanted to shut himself aways from the world and fell that he was above everyone and no diseas should take his life or his riches from him.

What I noticed about the story written by Poe, was the symbolism in the story. For example the rooms where made starting from the east wing to the to west wing as the sun rises from the east and sets in the west. The next act of symbolism is how the rooms wer colored ike the start of your life starting with the lilght blue meaning birth and ending with the black and red room mean death. Everyone lives in the in all the rooms but all the moods are different but everyone dies in the red room.

The guy with the death mask represents the red plague and he awaits everyone in the red room kiling all that entered. When the prince finally passed it represented how no matter how rich famous or who you are you cant shut out death.
