From East to West, The Journey toward the "Red Death"

For the past two days, we have explored "The Masque of the Red Death" by the original "scary story" author, Edgar Allan Poe. The colorful rooms, abstract dreams, and Dark Romantic literary techniques were all a muddle of scary tales until we compared the story to "The Seven Ages of Man," by William Shakespeare. From there, we can now see that "Masque" really reveals "The Seven Ages of Man," the stages of life that every human ages through.



2nd period: Please complete the "Masque of the Red Death" Project by creating a COLOR map of the castellated abbey's rooms to turn in on Monday!
