Medieval Mystery

The enraged and terrified revelers surge into the black room and forcibly remove the mask and robe, only to find to their horror that there is nothing underneath. Only then do they realize the figure is the Red Death itself, and all of the guests contract and succumb to the disease. The final line of the story sums up, "And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all". The imagery of blood and time throughout also indicates corporeality.

The plague may, in fact, represent typical attributes of human life and mortality, [2] which would imply the entire story is an allegory about man's futile attempts to stave off death a commonly accepted interpretation. Blood, emphasized throughout the tale, along with the color red, serves as a dual symbol, representing both death and life. Although Prospero's castle is meant to keep the sickness out, it is ultimately an oppressive structure. Its maze-like design and tall and narrow windows become almost burlesque in the final black room, so oppressive that "there were few of the company bold enough to set foot within its precincts at all".

Like many of Poe's tales, "The Masque of the Red Death" has been interpreted autobiographically, by some. In this point of view, Prince Prospero is Poe as a wealthy young man, part of a distinguished family much like Poe's foster parents , the Allans. Under this interpretation, Poe is seeking refuge from the dangers of the outside world, and his portrayal of himself as the only person willing to confront the stranger is emblematic of Poe's rush towards inescapable dangers in his own life.

The disease called the Red Death is fictitious.

Wine of Violence

Poe describes it as causing "sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores" leading to death within half an hour. The disease may have been inspired by tuberculosis or consumption, as it was known then , since Poe's wife Virginia was suffering from the disease at the time the story was written.

Like the character Prince Prospero, Poe tried to ignore the fatality of the disease.
