Read the excerpt from "The Masque of the Red Death” by Edgar Allan Poe. But these other apartments were densely crowded, and in

them beat feverishly the heart of life. And the revel went whirlingly on, until at length there commenced the sounding of midnight upon the clock. And then the music ceased, as I have told; and the evolutions of the waltzers were quieted, and there was an uneasy cessation of all things as before. But now there were twelve strokes to be sounded by the bell of the clock; and thus it happened, perhaps, that more of thought crept, with more of time, into the meditations of the thoughtful among those who revealed. And thus, too, it happened, perhaps, that before the last echoes of the last chime had utterly sunk into silence, there were many individuals in the crowd who had found leisure to become aware of the presence of a masked figure which had arrested the attention of no single individual before. And the rumor of this new presence having spread itself whisperingly around, there arose at length from the whole company a buzz, or murmur, expressive of disapprobation and surprise—then, finally, of terror, of horror, and of disgust.

Based on the details in the above excerpt, is the primary purpose of this passage is to <u>thrill.</u>

The story “The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe is literally and allegorically about death. Prince Prospero wanted to hide from death but is left not rescued from it. He arranged a party where he invited people from his kingdom. He ordered to decorate the halls with single colors each. The last hall was colored black which symbolizes death and the windows were painted red. There was an ebony clock which strikes everyone’s attention at the passing of every hour. Though people were busy in the celebrating the party with music and orchestra but at every hour when the clock rings which caught everyone’s attention. The tone in which Poe describes the rooms, the clock, the ringing of the clock, the activities of the people and the entry of death in the party gives an insight about the play that death is inevitable. Death is the central theme of the play. The Poe wants to focus on the issue that no one can be rescued from death by applying any means. He adds gothic experience which thrills the readers.

In "Musèe des Beaux Arts" by W.H. Auden, what do the people on the ship do after they see icarus fall into the sea?
Vika [28.1K]

In Musèe des Beaux Arts by W.H. Auden the people on the ship do nothing after seeing Icarus fall into the sea and the ship continues on its way. Why was that? Because according to the author, when a tragedy happens, human beings are not affected by it if their interests are protected and they have an horizon to pursue.
