In "The Masque of the Red Death," Edgar Allan Poe personifies the Red Death. Which two excerpts from the story reflect this fact

?
Excerpt 1
The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood.

Excerpt 2
The figure was tall and gaunt, and shrouded from head to foot in the habiliments of the grave. The mask which concealed the visage was made so nearly to resemble the countenance of a stiffened corpse that the closest scrutiny must have had difficulty in detecting the cheat.

Excerpt 3
His vesture was dabbled in blood—and his broad brow, with all the features of the face, was besprinkled with the scarlet horror. And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night.

Excerpt 4
But in the western or black chamber the effect of the fire-light that streamed upon the dark hangings through the blood-tinted panes, was ghastly in the extreme, and produced so wild a look upon the countenances of those who entered, that there were few of the company bold enough to set foot within its precincts at all.

The personification is a figure of speech in which the speaker describes a thing with human attributes, in the excerpts 2 and 3 we can see that Poe describes the Red Death as “tall and gaunt”, “shrouded from head to foot in the habiliments of the grave”, “his broad brow”, “come like a thief in the night” giving to this spectral figure human characteristics.

1. Compare Malvolios love for Olivia to Violas love for Duke Orsino. Describe differences between them.
Alla [95]

Answer:

1. Malvolio's love for Olivia is a one sided love, and it can be described as Malvolio desire for Olivia's money and power instead of true love. Malvolio always daydream about Oliva marrying him and him ordering Sir Toby around, as he thinks too highly of himself. However, Viola is dressed up and disguised as a man, and she was in love with Orsino, despite the fact that Orsino does not realise that Viola was actually a girl, Orsiono also loves Olivia and sent Viola to express his love to Olivia, which hurted Viola. In the end of the story, Orsino finally realizes that Viola is a girl and they fell in love.

2. Malvolio will fail because Olivia only treated him as his steward, Malvolio also thinks too highly of himself, which leads him into making foolish actions.
