They were feeling protected, as they believed they would escape death.

"The Masque of the Red Death," is a short story written by Edgar Alan Poe. In this story we are introduced to the following elements:

  • A terrible and very contagious disease was plaguing a kingdom.
  • This disease was known as the Red Death and was causing panic throughout the population.
  • Prince Prospero also feared that he would be infected with the disease and wanted to protect himself and the people.
  • For this reason, he has locked a thousand guests together with him in an abbey.
  • He believed that this way everyone would be protected from the Red Death.
  • The guests were also feeling that they were protected and that the disease would not overtake them.
  • The guests and the prince were mistaken and no one can escape the disease.

With that, we can conclude that Poe made a great allusion to death in this short story, where he shows that no matter what we do, we will not be able to escape death.
