- Summary:
- The Masque of the Red Death, a nineteenth-century Edgar Allan Poe short story about the selfish Prince Prospero's isolation of himself and his powerful supporters during a plague, ending with an exclusive party, could have been written as a contemporary commentary on the perils of both the COVID-19 pandemic and leadership without empathy. In this case, students will read that Prospero's people are dying because of a plague while he hides, sequestering himself and his wealthy supporters in a cordoned-off palace full of architectural oddities. The vivid literary case invites students to reflect on styles of leadership, the concentration of power, the significance of the setting, and the role of time in events.
