This week, read The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allen Poe and answer at least 3 of the following questions in about one page total:
- How is this story a commentary on social-economic status of people?
- There is no reference to where or how the “Red Death” originally began, only to how it spreads. Why?
- Since time is referenced so often, what is its importance to the story? And what is the meaning behind the hourly striking of the clock?
- How do the prince and his guests act like a disease in a body?
- How do you think the Red Death entered the Prince’s abbey that was sealed in “deep seclusion” from the rest of the world?
