The noun pestilence mainly refers to a fatal epidemic or plague, but as we have seen in our study of Oedipus Rex, can also refer to corruption and moral decay. In Poe?s short story, the Red Death is presented as a gruesome and deadly disease, eclipsing the worst plagues in history with its destructive power. If we read the tale symbolically, however, the latter definition can provide a different reading of the story: the pestilence is then not only the disease but also the moral climate of any country. Thinking about this, discuss the two perspectives from which one can read the tale, first explaining the contagion itself, and then how it is also a reflection on a decay in moral responsibility on the part of the both the leader and his people. Be sure to quote from the story to illustrate your points and support your claims.
