    I read the invite, I followed the rule, I put a simple looking pink plas-crete mask over the top half of my mahogany brown facial flesh and chipped chrome parts. People recognized me from behind, the mask did nothing but make my left eye twitch from time-to-time when it reacted to a light flash or silhouette it thought was questionable and dropped its shield for a technical heartbeat. Too many corporate security hacks wandering the crowd to let my own system think, I prefer to rely on Fred for my threat assessment in a crowd, but I told him to mingle and have fun. Haven’t seen him since arriving.…

    This is a historical narrative by Barbara Tuchman, where she presents in graphic detail about the outbreak of the ‘black death’ during the Late Middle Ages (1347 – 1352) and its progression through Europe. The ‘black death’ was the disease known as the bubonic plague and manifested in two forms. As Tuchman explains, the first form infected the bloodstream, causing buboes and internal bleeding, which was spread by contact; the second one was a more virulent pneumonia - type that infected the lungs and was spread by respiratory infection. It is truly horrifying to imagine how it was like to see those affected people or be one of them and more alarming was the fact that the caregivers would also be infected because the disease was highly contagious. Next, Tuchman explores how this terrifying disease is called the ‘black death’ as it included a…

    Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Masque of the Red Death” is considered to be an allegory about life and the inevitability of death. While it may appear to be a story about a plague and a prince’s response to it, it in fact holds a much deeper meaning and lesson. In “The Masque of the Red Death,” Prince Prospero locks himself into his abbey with 1,000 other people to escape the plague that is ravishing the world outside. However, when Prince Prospero holds a party in his abbey, a masked stranger sneaks in, killing all of the people inside. One allegorical feature in this short story is the colored rooms in the abbey, which symbolize the path of life.…

    In the end, death has the final word. In Edgar Allan Poe’s dark short story “The Masque of the Red Death,” Prince Prospero invites the remaining healthy members of a community to hide away in his quarantined castle while the outside is plagued by the personified Red Death. Once Death enters the castle, it leaves no survivors. In “The Masque of the Red Death” Poe often depicts his characters’ actions as insane, but seemingly normal and fails to recognize that they are ludicrous; he then rejects and contrasts the beliefs in the Bible, in order to arrive at an all encompassing theme of an absolutely ineludible death. Because Prince Prospero behaves strangely, Poe calls his mental health into question by manipulating polysyndeton that forces…
