Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" In writing a story of this nature, Poe would have considered such historical examples as the Black Death or the bubonic plague of the Middle Ages as well as the cholera epidemics that ravaged Philadelphia in the 1790's and Baltimore in his own lifetime. However, "The Wife of His Youth" follows Mr. Ryder, a bi-racial man who was born and reared free before the Civil War. He heads the "Blue Veins Society", a social organization for colored people in a northern town; the membership consists of people with a high proportion of European ancestry, who look more white than black. The organization's name stemmed from the joke that one would have to be so white (to be a member) that veins could be seen through the skin.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

D. They reveal the tension created by Tatsu’s struggle to cope with the civilized world, where he  feels alone and out of place.

Explanation:

Tatsu was an artist who had been living in the natural spaces of mountains. He was a painter of dragons. He used to display his art on natural things and was very much attached to the world of nature. When he reached "the civilized world" he was welcomed with a studio, especially for his artwork. He was also provided with all the materialistic things required for the paintings. He felt suffocated and irritated in the materialistic environment. He longed for the natural spaces and natural beauty that was meant for the Dragon painters.
