Excerpt 2
The figure was tall and gaunt, and shrouded from head to foot in the habiliments of the grave. The mask which concealed the visage was made so nearly to resemble the countenance of a stiffened corpse that the closest scrutiny must have had difficulty in detecting the cheat.
Excerpt 3
His vesture was dabbled in blood—and his broad brow, with all the features of the face, was besprinkled with the scarlet horror. And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night.
Excerpt 4
But in the western or black chamber the effect of the fire-light that streamed upon the dark hangings through the 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.
Answer:
Excerpt 2
The figure was tall and gaunt, and shrouded from head to foot in the habiliments of the grave. The mask which concealed the visage was made so nearly to resemble the countenance of a stiffened corpse that the closest scrutiny must have had difficulty in detecting the cheat.
Excerpt 3
His vesture was dabbled in blood—and his broad brow, with all the features of the face, was besprinkled with the scarlet horror. And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night.
Excerpt 2 describes the Red Death as tall and gaunt, and as wearing clothes from the grave. Excerpt 3 describes the Red Death as a thief in the night. Both of these excerpts describe the Red Death as possessing human qualities, such as wearing clothes or behaving badly. These are examples of personification. Personification occurs when inanimate objects, animals and plants are described as having characteristics that are exclusive to humans.
In "The Masque of the Red Death", Edgar Allan Poe personifies the Red Death in Excerpt 2 and 3 by bestowing it with human physical features and actions. Excerpt 1 and 4 do not contribute to the personification.
In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death", the Red Death is personified through various excerpts from the story. Personification is a figure of speech where human qualities are given to animals, objects or ideas. In this case, the Red Death is given characteristics like a person.
Excerpt 1 describes the Red Death's impact on the country, but does not personify it. However, Excerpt 2 begins the process of personification, describing the Red Death using human characteristics: it is 'tall, gaunt and shrouded from head to foot in the habiliments of the grave'.
In Excerpt 3, the personification is further emphasized. The Red Death's physical traits are detailed - it has features of a face and a broad brow. It's also described as having arrived 'like a thief in the night', which adds a human-like action to the personification.
Excerpt 4 does not contribute to the personification of the Red Death, instead it focuses on the reaction Red Death causes in people.
