Explanation:

The excerpt is from "The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe. The story depicts the "The Red Death", a lethal disease that plagues Prince Prospero's kingdom. Throughout the text, Prince Prospero is depicted as an arrogant, selfish, dauntless and fearless man who only cares about protecting himself and the elites of his kingdom.

"The Red Death, a bloody disease that kills a man rapidly with a seizure and bleeding from the pores, is terrorizing the country. But Prince Prospero is unaffected. Though his people are dying by the hour, he gathers his friends and his knights and shuts himself away in an ornate abbey, which he designed himself. "

In the current excerpt, the words, "Prince Prospero, maddening with rage and the shame of his own momentary cowardice." and "He bore aloft a drawn dagger, and had approached, in rapid impetuosity, to within three of four feet of the retreating figure." convey that although Prince Prospero's authority and determination have been severely challenged by the Red Death, he willfully draws a dagger and decides to confront the figure.
