Why is Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death” considered an allegory? A. The characters in the story cannot escape death. B. The story tells about the effects of the plague. C. The characters, setting, and events are all symbolic. D. The events and the setting take place in Europe.
HOPEFULLY this is right, but I'm sorry if it is wrong. I think it is C, because an allegory means: a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one
