E. A. Poe’s short story follows Prince Prospero and his friends’ futile
attempt to outrun and outsmart a deadly plague, called the Red Death. The
heart of the story is presented as a masquerade where the guests revel in
mirth and intoxication, oblivious of the horrors that await them. The author’s
narrative techniques revolve around symbolism (number seven, the clock, the
black chamber) and provides an allegorical halo around the short story.
Witnessing his wife’s suffering from tuberculosis and the ravages of cholera
in Baltimore at the time, Poe imbues "The Mask" with an air of veracity, but
the supernatural reigns supreme.
