The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe -(originally published as "The Mask of the Red Death: A Fantasy") is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1842. The story follows Prince Prospero's attempts to avoid a dangerous plague, known as the Red Death, by hiding in his abbey. He, along with many other wealthy nobles, hosts a masquerade ball in seven rooms of the abbey, each decorated with a different color. In the midst of their revelry, a mysterious figure disguised as a Red Death victim enters and makes his way through each of the rooms. Prospero dies after confronting this stranger, whose "costume" proves to contain nothing tangible inside it; the guests also die in turn. Plot summary: The story takes place at the castellated abbey of the "happy and dauntless and sagacious" Prince Prospero. Prospero and 1,000 other nobles have taken refuge in this walled abbey to escape the Red Death, a terrible plague with gruesome symptoms that has swept over the land. Victims are overcome by "sharp pains", "sudden dizziness", and "profuse bleeding at the pores", and die within half an hour. Prospero and his court are indifferent to the sufferings of the population at large; they intend to await the end of the plague in luxury and safety behind the walls of their secure refuge, having welded the doors shut to ensure no one enters or leaves. Prospero holds a masquerade ball one night to entertain his guests in seven colored rooms of the abbey. Each of the first six rooms is decorated and illuminated in a specific color: blue, purple, green, orange, white, and violet. The last room is decorated in black and is illuminated by a scarlet light, "a deep blood color" cast from its stained glass windows. Because of this chilling pairing of colors, very few guests are brave enough to venture into the seventh room. A large ebony clock stands in this room and ominously chimes each hour, upon which everyone stops talking or dancing and the orchestra stops playing. Once the chiming stops, everyone immediately resumes the masquerade. As nightfall approaches, none of the guests enter the final room as it takes on a more eerie display and the additional chimes of the clock make them uneasy.

The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe A disease known as the Red Death strikes the fictional country where this story takes place and causes its victims to die quickly and horribly. Despite the fact that this disease is rampant, the prince, Prospero, is feeling happy and hopeful. He decides to lock the doors of his palace to defend himself from the plague, ignoring the disease that ravages the land. After several months, he throws an elegant masked ball. For this celebration, decorate the rooms of your house in unique colors. The easternmost room is decorated in blue, with blue stained glass. The next room is purple with the same stained glass pattern. The rooms continue to the west, in accordance with this layout, in the following color arrangement: green, orange, white and purple. The seventh room is black, with red windows. Also in this room is an ebony clock. When the clock strikes every hour, its sound is so loud and annoying that everyone stops talking and the orchestra stops playing. However, when the clock does not strike, the rooms are so beautiful and strange that they seem to be filled with dreams, swirling among the revelers. Most guests, however, avoid the final room, black and red, because it contains both the clock and a sinister atmosphere. At midnight, a new guest appears, dressed more macabre than his counterparts. His mask resembles the face of a corpse, his clothing resembles a funerary shroud, and his face reveals bloodstains suggesting that he is a victim of the Red Death. Prospero is angry that someone with such little humor and lightness joined his group. The other guests, however, are so afraid of this masked man that they cannot prevent him from passing through every room. Prospero finally catches up with the new guest in the black and red room. As soon as he confronts the figure, Prospero dies. When other partygoers enter the room to attack the man in the cape, they discover that no one is under the costume. Then they all die, because the Red Death has infiltrated the castle. "Darkness and decay and the red death" have finally triumphed.
