Question

Read the excerpt from Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death.'

But in the western or black chamber the effect of the fire-light that streamed upon the dark hangings through
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.
Which words from the excerpt most convey the mood?

Answer 1

blood-tinted

Step-by-step explanation:

The final black room represents death in story because anyone standing in this room would get the illusion that they were burdened with the Red Death. The black room symbolizes the end because as we know, everyone in the story dies.

The words, "blood-tinted" set the dreary and dark tone of the death that happens later in the story and what the black room symbolizes.

Have a lovely rest of your day! :)
