with someone else or if they saw it up close there I do understand why they get scared since the
figure was stained with blood and the face was like that of a dead person.

7-who do you think the mall masked man was?

-It is clearly the red death since they describe it as being stained with blood and the face was like
that of a dead man.

prince took a sword and approached and raised the sword, then the figure turned and a loud cry
was heard and the sword fell along with the body of the prince on the black carpet.
9-why did the thousand people die and why did the black clock stop?

death was there, so one by one they fell dead and the black clock stopped ringing when the last
person fell dead.

10-what did your opinion about the fact when people have a lot of money that they think they
could buy everything?

had enough money he invited his friends to make them suppose that they would be saved from
the red death but not since money does not buy everything.
