The Masque of the Red Death

Last week I read The Masque of the Red Death. I the time that I had was short so, I didn't pay the attention that it deserved. It was until I read it the second time, where I discovered that that short story, which actually, for me seemed like a legend, was full of allegories. That second time, I found interesting that Red Death was actually a personification. Also, the way the prince wants to maintain that sickness out of his castle. At this point, I started thinking that every human would want the misfortune out of his lands. But here we see how powerful nature, especially sicknesses can be. Then, I realized that not even the prince had his life secure.
