In "The Masque of the Red Death," Edgar Allan Poe uses the color red as a symbol to indicate the deadly disease. The Red Death itself is characterized by its gruesome symptoms, including a blood-red coloration, which represents both the physical suffering and the inevitable nature of death. Additionally, the appearance of the Red Death at the masquerade ball serves as a stark reminder of the inescapable presence of mortality, despite the characters' attempts to evade it.
