In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death," the masked visitor symbolizes the inevitability of death, illustrating that no one can escape mortality. The revelers, in their opulent surroundings, believe they can avoid the plague by isolating themselves, but the arrival of the masked figure serves as a stark reminder that death is inescapable. Ultimately, the guests' fate reveals the futility of their attempts to evade their reality, teaching a profound lesson about the universality of death and the illusion of safety.

Oh, dude, in "The Masque of the Red Death," the use of the word "masque" is ironic because while it refers to a fancy costume party in the story, it also alludes to the masked figure of the Red Death that ultimately brings death to the revelers. It's like calling a party "The Dance of the Grim Reaper" - not exactly a fun time for everyone involved. So, yeah, it's ironic in a dark and twisted kinda way.
Prince Prospero is depicted as a wealthy and arrogant nobleman who tries to escape the Red Death by isolating himself and his guests in his abbey. He is shown as selfish and uncaring towards the suffering outside his walls, focusing only on his own pleasure and protection. His actions ultimately lead to his downfall as death catches up to him despite his efforts to avoid it.
