Poe’s story is an allegory that contains multiple layers of meaning. The Red Death is a disease that plagues the city and it is a character that signifies death. The Red Death is a rapidly spreading disease that is feared and dreaded by all. The prince makes arrangements to escape the widespread disease by retreating to his palace. There, he invites guests to a masquerade ball. The guests, similar to the prince, do not feel threatened by the terrifying disease:
The external world could take care of itself. In the meantime it was folly to grieve, or to think. The prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure. There were buffoons, there were improvisatori, there were ballet-dancers, there were musicians, there was Beauty, there was wine. All these and security were within. Without was the "Red Death."
The guests assume at first that the Red Death is another costumed guest. But after the Red Death strikes the prince, the guests realize that they can’t escape death, regardless of their wealth and power. Their confident sense of immunity is quickly exposed as an illusion:
And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames of the tripods expired. And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.
Answer:
Rising Action: People investigate. A young man yells down the hole to see if it was a fox hole or something. He then throws down pebble to hear when it hits the ground but they never herd it. The scientist tries to figure out what it is and how it got there. Some one tries to use rope to see how deep it is. When they figure it´s an extremely big hole, the mayor gives it away and people start throwing in old diaries, old newspapers, garbage nuclear waste and anything else they do not want.
Climax: When the village starts to get bigger because of all the people who want to work for the man who owns the hole and they have to build more buildings. One day a construction worker, was standing on top of the building and looked up at the sky because he thought he heard someone say ¨H-Hey, come on ou-t¨ Then a pebble falls from the sky as well but he fails to notice.
Falling action: There really isn´t one. The story leaves us readers to figure out what happened.
Resolution: There really isn´t one. The story leaves us readers to figure out what happened.
Hope this helps!
