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

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.

skelet666 [1.2K]

You start to see in it presentiments of her suicide. The name proposes being on the edge or having slipped off it. Since the poem is about a "perfected woman," one begins to read it as the poem about Plath herself dead, perfect. You can see how unhappy that she feels when turning over this message and you can almost see what she is planning to do.  It makes you more conscious of others who may be in need of help when you least comprehend it.
