Apart from entertaining readers, the other two other purposes of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death” are to show how power and wealth can’t shelter people and D) to criticise those who lack empathy for others.  

Edgar Allan Poe wrote “The Masque of the Red Death” in 1842. It tells the story of a Prince called Prospero and his fear to get the Red Death, a mortal plague. Poe creates an imaginary story where people is trying to avoid death at all cost and how people avoid those things that are unpleasant or affects them. The story contains the traditional horror elements of Poe but also shows how power and wealth can’t shelter people and criticise those who lack empathy for others.
