"Bridal Ballad" by Edgar Allan Poe is a poem that depicts the speaker's emotions about a lost love and yearning for that love to return. The poem explores themes of death, longing, and the ephemeral nature of life and love. The speaker expresses a deep sense of grief and longing for their deceased beloved.
"The Masque of the Red Death" is about Prince Prospero hiding from a fictitious disease known as "The Red Death" that spreads throughout the town by a stranger who enters and exits each room in a building filled with people who now have "The Red Death". The symptoms of "The Red Death" are said to have the following:
The theme of the story is that people cannot escape from disease; especially when the mysterious stranger in the story was actually "The Red Death" itself. And because of that, Prospero died immediately when "The Red Death" faced him; right when Prospero was about to stab "The Red Death" with a dagger.
There are many themes to the masque of the red death, but the most obvious and most important are:
*No man, rich or poor, can escape death...even if that person is locked up in a bolted castle like Prince Prosepero and his guests
*Death is ever present throughout life
I'll give you a couple more but the ones above are the most important, the most used on essays, and really the only ones teachers actually care about...
*don't rush through life like Prince Prosepero runs through the seven rooms(7
stages of life)
*Everyone is mortal and will eventually die
"Death is inevitable"
" No man or woman can escape death"
"You cant escape death"
