The Murders in the Rue Morgue and other stories- Edgar Allan Poe

 


SYNOPSIS: The Masque of the Red Death: The Red Death has devastated the country for a long time. The prince wasn’t bothered about the people that were dying. He gathered 1000 friends and took them far away. The prince has a very strange taste, he has seven rooms with different colors except one room, the black one, that no one dared to enter. One day they held a ball, they were vibing when a strange masked person and his clothes were covered with blood. Everyone was afraid but the prince was angry with his sword he ran after the masked figure through the rooms. They reached the black room, a loud cry was heard and the prince was dead, they removed the mask of the figure and they understood that the figure was the Red Death, after everyone in the ball died.


The Pit and the Pendulum: Members of the Inquisition were all around him when they sentenced him to death. When he heard that voice he fainted. He woke up and everything was dark he couldn’t see. He tried to count how many steps there were in the place. The place was slippery, he fell down and noticed that there was a pit(he was supposed to fall but he didn’t). He saw bread and water. He ate it and slept. He woke up in a wooden bed tied up, there was water and bread beside him he drank it and slept for days. When he woke up there was a blade above him across his heart. He had a plan, the rats were on top of him so he placed the meat on him, the rats ate it and he was free. The walls started to move and it slowly became smaller the place and then he realized that their purpose was to force him to die in the pit. He threw himself but someone saved him, the French army entered Toledo and like that the Inquisition was in their hands. 


PERSONAL OPINION: It was a really interesting and horrific story. The one that I liked the most was the first story. At first the prince was outraged and did not care about the people of his town who were dying from the red death but in the end he was the one who died from the same red death. In the end with this I realize that people with the prince will end up with a bad ending and those who are on the side of the prince will also end up with a bad ending. And that the good people(the citizens of the city or village of the prince) will have a good ending.
