Best Answer

People wore masks for a disguise or to show off wealth. Anonymity was another reason they were worn. That was trysts could be carried out without people knowing who was who. Sometimes, it was part of an elaborate costume, a finishing touch or one that would show what the wearer was going for. Sometimes, it was just due to formality, as it was a Masque and therefore forms were to be followed.
