Literary Analysis
There are many aspects to Poe’s form of writing. These aspects especially come out in The Masque Of The Red Death. Hidden within this short story are hints of symbolism, masked by the intricate plot line. What sets this short story apart from much of Poe’s other works is that its easier to pick up on, and understand. Poe’s obsession with the number seven also shows up in this short story in the form of seven differently colored rooms..
