Magician

the time I was seven years old, I had picked up on the trick. Now I pull it on my little cousins. The other magic trick was finding my card out of the deck. This was a lot more difficult to pick up on. I had to ask him but he would never tell. “A magician never reveals his secrets,” He said. By the time I was twelve I had caught on. Now I also use this on my little cousins and try to pass on to them what my grandpa passed to me. None of this compares to what he ha taught me most…

The Masque of the Red Death" is in essence a story about the human desire to avoid death and the ultimate futility of such avoidance. Prince Prospero's name recalls both the term for wealth and the Shakespearean magician of "The Tempest" whose duchy was usurped, and he uses his wealth to give up his rule over his land and to flee death by shutting himself away with a thousand of his noblemen. Thus Poe shows him almost immediately to be fatally flawed, as he remains happy and carefree despite the…

After reading “The Tempest” by William Shakespeare, I have learned that one of the themes of this story is justice. Prospero tries to seek justice by reclaiming the position of the Duke of Milan from his brother Antonio.
