One of Edgar Allan Poe’s most enduring themes was the inescapability of death and the “Masque of the Red Death” is a great example of that theme and of the mystery elements in Poe’s gothic fiction. Some titles for an essay about it could be:

  1. Prospero Parties While the Poor Perish: If Death is Inescapable, Is It Immoral for Prospero to Party Until Death Comes for Him?
  2. Mortality Moral: What Poe Has to Say About the Inevitability of Death
  3. Didacticism and Death: Examining the Masque of the Red Death Through a Symbolic Lens
  4. The Pursuit of Emptiness: Does Chasing Life Lead to Death?
  5. Stalking Death: Is Prospero Pursuing Death in Poe’s “Masque of the Red Death”?
  6. The Futility of Flight: The Inescapable Nature of Death
  7. The Empty Illusion of Fear
  8. The Blood Is the Life…and Also the Death
  9. Valiant Hero or Cowering Weakling: The Opposing Views of Prospero in Poe’s “Masque of the Red Death”
  10. Death in Disguise
