Reading The Masque of the Red Death | Alexandria
Read The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe. Stalking through gilded halls, Death's crimson specter exposes the futile dance of privilege in plague times - a chilling parallel to modern wealth divides. Poe's masterpiece reveals how desperately we cling to illusions of control, even as mortality mocks our carefully constructed barriers. The twist? Our elaborate defenses often become our prison.
