THE SETTING OF THE STORY IS PLACED IN A CASTLE. IN MOST OF THE GOTHIC STORIES, THE SETTING IS IN A MYSTERIOUS CASTLE TO ADD A SPOOKY EFFECT. IT CONTAINS 7 ROOMS ALL OF A DIFFERENT COLOR.

THE READER ENCOUNTERS THE EXPERIENCE OF THE BLOOD, BOILS, AND PIERCING SCREAMS OF THIS DISEASE. IT ADDS A SPOOKY EFFECT.

THE INEXPLICABLE EVENT MENTIONED IN THIS STORY WOULD BE THE RED DEATH.

DURING THE NOVEL, A LADY PROPHECIES THAT THERE WITH BE A PLAGUE THROUGHOUT THE TOWN.

THE PROPHECY MADE BY THE OLD WOMAN WOUOD BE CONSIDERED AN OMEN, OR VISION. WHICH IS ALSO APART OF THE GOTHIC ELEMENTS

IN THE VILLAGE, THE WOMAN'S PROPHECY CAME TRUE. UNFORTUNATELY, SHE WAS THE FIRST VICTIM.

ANOTHER EVENT WOULD BE HOW THE "RED DEATH" KILLED EVERYTHING IT TOUCHED.

A METONYMY IS A SUBTYPE OF METAPHOR. SYMBOLIC IN A WAY.

IN THE STORY, WHEN THE PARTIERS STOPPED AT THE STROKE OF EVERY HOUR, IT SHOWED SYMBOLISM AND HOW SELFISH THEY WERE

EDGAR ALLAN POE DISPLAYED MANY GOTHIC ELEMENTS IN A MARVELOUS WAY. HE REALLY MADE THE READER EXPERIENCE SUSPENSE.
