I do like this novel, so I am really into it as it gives so much information for

pondering. It raises the problem of justice. While people are dying due to the Red
Death, Prospero Prince is having fun in his castle and tries to feel isolated from this
suffering world. It embodies his weakness and unwillingness to take measures to save
people`s lives. However, he does not tackle to prevent the awful consequences of
such a cruel disease. He is helpless and reluctant to help.
When the Prince noticed the personality of a rather strange and outrageous man,
he decided to follow him and identify or clarify who he is. When this Spirit turned his
face to the Prince, the Prince died immediately. This personality resembles the
symptoms of the Red Death, and this description itself carries or embodies a
particular sense. The most unpredictable and surprising fact is that this man has no
physical body. That is a Spirit. Its idea is that you cannot stand away from people`s
grief, you cannot remain silent or pretend that nothing happens. If people suffer and
die, and you possess the position of the leader, you are obliged to take responsibility
for people`s lives. The Prince was punished in such a way for his indifference and
inaction.
