when the clock chimes everybody in the rooms stops what they are doing and watches the clock. the masque of the red death is an allegory and is meant to be read on a symbolic level. the ebony clock symbolizes time. when it chimes everybody stops what they are doing to see if their time is up. and when the story is over and everybody has died the clock stops. this means time is up. other symbols include the red death which symbolizes death and no matter who or where you are it will find you. the seven rooms symbolize the seven deadly sins. the tripods symbolize life. and prince prospero symbolizes prosperity. and the castle symbolizes hope that the red death will not find them.
