In "The Masque of the Red Death," Edgar Allan Poe personifies the Red Death. Which two excerpts from the story reflect this fact? Excerpt 1 The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood. Excerpt 2 The figure was tall and gaunt, and shrouded from head to foot in the habiliments of the grave. The mask which concealed the visage was made so nearly to resemble the countenance of a stiffened corpse that the closest scrutiny must have had difficulty in detecting the cheat. Excerpt 3 His vesture was dabbled in blood—and his broad brow, with all the features of the face, was besprinkled with the scarlet horror. And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. Excerpt 4 But in the western or black chamber the effect of the fire-light that streamed upon the dark hangings through the blood-tinted panes, was ghastly in the extreme, and produced so wild a look upon the countenances of those who entered, that there were few of the company bold enough to set foot within its precincts at all.

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Personification is giving human like characteristics or actions to a non-human things.

Excerpt 1 just talks about how scary and awful the Red Death is, but it doesn't really make it seem human.

Excerpt 2 describes the Red Death like a really scary looking masked person looking thing, kind of like a scythe. The Red Death is a non-human thing though, but Poe is making it seem human. This is personification.

Excerpt 3 talks about a face, vesture, brow, etc. These are all things that humans usually have. This is a personification.

Excerpt 4 is just describing a scary place, but it doesn't really talk about anything human, and it doesn't seem to be talking about the Red Death at all.

Therefore, the answer is Excerpt 2 and Excerpt 3.

Which three parts of this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" highlight the suggestion that the powerful and wealthy in the story are insensitive toward the outbreak of the disease and those who are suffering?
The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour.

But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys. This was an extensive and magnificent structure, the creation of the prince's own eccentric yet august taste. A strong and lofty wall girdled it in. This wall had gates of iron. The courtiers, having entered, brought furnaces and massy hammers and welded the bolts. They resolved to leave means neither of ingress nor egress to the sudden impulses of despair or of frenzy from within. The abbey was amply provisioned. With such precautions the courtiers might bid defiance to contagion. The external world could take care of itself. In the meantime it was folly to grieve, or to think. The prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure. There were buffoons, there were improvisatori, there were ballet-dancers, there were musicians, there was Beauty, there was wine. All these and security were within. Without was the "Red Death."

It was towards the close of the fifth or sixth month of his seclusion, and while the pestilence raged most furiously abroad, that the Prince Prospero entertained his thousand friends at a masked ball of the most unusual magnificence.

Historians still don’t agree on the exact cause of the Salem witch trials. Several theories have been put forward explaining the motive behind the accusations: Economic Causes In Salem, some families were very rich, while others were poor. This disparity led to jealousy among some of the people. Several families were engaged in property disputes. Some of the accused were rich. If convicted, they would lose their land and property, which could then be bought by others. Suggesting that a person was a witch was one way of obtaining that person’s property. Some of the accused were poor. They were outsiders, and wealthier townspeople looked down on them. Accusing these people of being witches was one way of eliminating them from the village. Political Causes In the recent past, there had been several disputes over who should govern the Massachusetts Colony. The colonists had also endured some violent conflicts with American Indians. These events created political turmoil and instability. People were upset, and they blamed their problems on a lack of effective leadership. The leaders, in turn, were eager to see others take the blame for social problems. Accusing people of witchcraft made the accused responsible for social and political problems. The supposed witches could be blamed for whatever was wrong with society. Leaders did not have to take responsibility for mistakes or try to make changes. Intellectual Causes People knew little about science in those days. They were afraid of things they didn’t understand. People didn’t know about the causes of disease. If a person became sick, they believed it might be because of a curse. Witchcraft was one way of explaining the unknown. Psychological Causes Most of the accusers were young women and girls. At that time, girls were supposed to be quiet and obedient. They had little power in society. Accusing others of witchcraft may have made them feel powerful. Some girls and women may have been under pressure to make up stories about witchcraft. Powerful people who had something to gain from seeing certain people in the town convicted of witchcraft may have pressured these women into testifying. Mass hysteria may have also played a role. Mass hysteria happens when large numbers of people respond to real or imagined threats in an emotional and unreasonable way. They become frightened, angry, and even violent. During times of mass hysteria, people may engage in mob violence, hunting down, shaming, and sometimes even killing those they believe are responsible for their troubles. The power of suggestion can contribute to mass hysteria. When one person claims to see, hear, or feel something, others may believe it to be true and swear they hear, see, or feel the same thing without knowing why. For instance, if you see your friends scratch themselves or yawn, you may start scratching or yawning too, even if you aren’t itchy or tired. This is one example of what psychologists call the power of suggestion. Review this source for additional information about the causes of the Salem witch trials: Causes for the Outbreak of Witch Hysteria in Salem Think about the different theories that have been presented so far. Do you feel that one theory is more convincing than the others? Do you believe there might be more than one cause involved?

Make sure you include an introductory statement and a conclusion.
