Personification is giving human like characteristics or actions to a non-human things.
Excerpt 1 just talks about how scary and awful the Red Death is, but it doesn't really make it seem human.
Excerpt 2 describes the Red Death like a really scary looking masked person looking thing, kind of like a scythe. The Red Death is a non-human thing though, but Poe is making it seem human. This is personification.
Excerpt 3 talks about a face, vesture, brow, etc. These are all things that humans usually have. This is a personification.
