Answer:

Bubonic Plague

Step-by-step explanation:

The uninvited guest is represented as a hideous stranger who suddenly appears after he was isolated for several months in Prince Prospero's castle. It seems he was pretty much what the revellers were trying to escape from, as if he was the embodiment of deadly disease.
