Abstract:
This review seeks to analyse the short story “The Masque of the Red Death”, by Edgar Allan Poe, and to study its connection to the anti-transcendentalist and dark romantic movements. Through an examination of the literary aspects contained in the story, this work aims to inspect Poe's writing style, notedly marked by a bold approach of the themes of death, mourning and decay, and to compare his aesthetic decisions - such as the strong symbolic streak, the reliance on colour and architecture and the artistic depiction of death - to the chief tenets that influenced anti-transcendentalist writers over the 19th century.

Abstract:
Abstract This article deals with the work of two of the most prominent horror fiction writers in American history, namely Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King. The focus of this study is put on the comparative approach while tracing the influence of Poe’s several chosen narratives in King’s novel called The Shining (1977). The chosen approach has uncovered that King’s novel embodies numerous characteristics, tendencies, and other signs of inspiration by Poe’s narratives. The Shining encompasses Poe’s tales such as “The Masque of the Red Death”, “The Fall of the House of Usher”, and “The Black Cat” which are shown to be pivotal aspects of King’s novel. The analysis has shown that the aforementioned King’s novel exhibits Shakespearean elements intertwined with Poe’s “Masque of the Red Death”, the Overlook Hotel to be a composite consisting of various Poesque references, and that The Shining’s protagonist is a reflection of autobiographical references to specific aspects of the lives of Poe and King themselves.

Abstract:
This dissertation is a study of Edgar Allan Poe's "The fall of the house of Usher" and "The masque of the red death", as representative tales of the Gothic and, by extension, of the fantastic mode. It has two axes: one is a survey of critical theories on the fantastic and its main manifestation, the Gothic, in an attempt to distinguish the constituents of the mode and to apply them to a reading of Poe's tales. The other axis is centered on one of these constituents, an esoteric substratum which underlies both texts and is fundamental to Poe's metaphysics as expressed in his aesthetics, Finally, the specular construction of the texts is examined, as well as the use of intertextuality and the ideological questions projected in terms of a theory of knowledge.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the validity of André Lefevere’s assumption that “a canonized author is translated more on his own terms (according to his own poetics) than on those of the receiving system” (2000: 237) through a case study of Edgar Allan Poe retranslations in the Turkish literary system. The first part of the paper includes extratextual analysis carried out according to Gérard Genette’s categorization of “metatexts” and “paratexts,” and a further category which includes the social media. Poe’s poetics and the poetics of the Turkish literary system, as well as Poe’s reception in the system are explored through extratextual analysis to determine whether Poe gained more canonicity or reputation. The extratextual analysis reveals the author’s increasing influence, reception and reputation in the Turkish literary system over a time span of almost ninety years. The second part of the paper presents the textual analysis of Poe’s two tales, “Hop-Frog” and “The Masque of the Red Death”, in eight translations published between 1928 and 2002. Textual analysis serves to reveal whether Poe was translated more according to his own poetics as he became more reputable in the target literary system. The paper concludes that factors other than reputation of an author have also a role to play in translating an author according to his own poetics.

Abstract:
El objetivo del presente artículo es el de abordar un estudio comparado de los relatos “La mendiga de Locarno”, de Heinrich von Kleist, y “The Masque of the Red Death”, de Edgar Allan Poe. Para ello se partirá de que ambos autores son considerados figuras fundamentales del proceso de consolidación de la narrativa breve en la primera mitad del siglo XIX en sus respectivas literaturas nacionales. Este hecho, unido al íntimo conocimiento que los dos tenían de la literatura de terror alemana y anglosajona de su tiempo, propicia una serie de coincidencias formales y temáticas en sus textos que los sitúan en una constelación literaria repleta de fuentes y admiradores comunes. No obstante, un análisis más exhaustivo de las obras propuestas revela una asombrosa afinidad en el modo en que tanto Kleist como Poe aprovechan los materiales textuales de los que parten: mediante la subversión de las expectativas genéricas, los dos proponen una concepción del terror en la que lo irresoluble del misterio sobrenatural cuestiona la existencia de un orden moral armónico y la capacidad humana de llegar a entender nuestro mundo.

Abstract:
Wort-case scenarios depicted in literary works may function to mourn and warn people about the real situation, such as the spread of COVID-19 that has altered worldwide life drastically. This study offers a reflection on the current pandemic time through a close reading of selected American classic literary works. The imagination of fear, isolation, and mask-wearing in Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories is resonant with the new expressions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Three short stories by Poe, i.e., ‘The Masque of the Red Death’, ‘The Cask of Amontillado’, and ‘The Sphinx’ are chosen for examination using the thematic analysis method. Repeated reading of the short stories shows that parallels can be drawn between these stories and today’s phenomenon about anxiety, social restriction, and health protocols. What can be implied from the analysis are as follows: (1) Fear of the disease results in the characters’ added distress, (2) The characters’ aberrant behaviour as to overprotect themselves is exacerbated by the dreadful situation, and (3) Poe’s obsession with dread and death to shock the readers can be historically traced through his own inner predicaments, ill-health, and the 1832 Cholera contagion. In conclusion, the findings resonate with the COVID-19 epidemic’s upshots.

Abstract : The main objectives of this study are to identify the symbols which are contextually attached to certain words and phrases; to analyze the contextual meaning of the symbols; and to describe the pedagogical implications of the uses of those symbols to the practices of teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). These all are conducted by following Pierce’s triadic theory. The sources of the data of this study are some carefully selected short stories written by Edgar Allan Poe. Descriptive qualitative method is used to collect the data which are then analysed and presented explanatorily. The results of the analysis of the data suggest that there are six symbols which are contextually attached to words and phrases in The Masque of Red Death, three symbols in The Pit and Pendulum, and three symbols in The Black Cat. Those symbols carry important pedagogical implications to the teaching of English as a foreign language. This implies that teachers of English may use these short stories and their symbols to teach English vocabulary in reading section by using flashcard, and by which they can conclude the learning section by presenting the moral values in the short stories.Keywords : Symbols, Semiotic

Abstract:
This paper considers The Masque of the Red Death, a short story by E.A. Poe. Understanding the carnival as mundus inversus (temporary inversion of order) and using the theories proposed by M. Bakhtin or V. Turner, the authors present an interpretation according to which Poe’s ball is indeed an inversion of a ball – an anti-carnival. Furthermore, they do not agree with the allegorical understanding of Poe’s works. Indicating a suggestion made by Poe himself, they choose an interpretation related to Eliade’s concept of symbolism. They also disagree with the theory in which The Masque of the Red Death is the story about the non-existence of God. Referring to other religious interpretations and the problems of time, they present their own biblical conclusion.

Abstract:
Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of The Red Death is a famous story of a plague in which the infected ones died with blood coming out from pores. Prince Prospero as ruler of that area ignores it but then was killed by a figure with a face full of blood covered in a mask. In the COVID-19 pandemic, the infected ones are quite seen as terror and disgust. People stay away from them as if they are dirty and sinful. It is similar to how Red Masque and Red Death are indicated in Poe’s story. However, Emmanuel Levinas argues that the epiphany of the face invites people to be ethical to others. Then, how is the epiphany of the face reflected in Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of The Red Death? By using the qualitative method, written data, concepts, and theories are asserted to answer that question. Comparing Levinas’ explanation, Poe’s story, and today’s pandemic situation could bring in better insight into how the infected ones should be treated better. They must not be excluded, but they need our ethical compassion in answering their presence to us.

Abstract:
A travers ces deux textes litteraires du milieu du dix-neuvieme siecle, l'etude du langage des couleurs -notamment de la couleur rouge a demontre combien il se relie au probleme de l'identite americaine qui demeure ici inseparable du mythe de l'amerique percu comme un nouveau monde au sens d'une re-creation du monde, donc d'une nouvelle cosmogonie. Chez poe comme chez hawthome,la couleur rouge reste associee au langage. Dans "the masque of the red death", la couleur rouge constitue la couleur-pivot autour de laquelle tout s'articule. Elle ne peut etre separee de l'or, de la couleur noire, de l'alchimie, des elements. Ses relations des plus subtiles et des plus complexes qu'elle entretient avec les nombres, les lettres, les formes de lettres et la musique demontrent son lien avec l'ecriture. Un jeu de permutation de lettres opere sur la couleur rouge a amene a conclure que la mort rouge s'identifierait entre autres a dionysos -symbolisant a la fois la vie, la fecondite et le desordre. Il representerait une mort revelatrice et initiatique conduisant a une renaissance. L'intrigue se devant en ce cas etre comprise a l'inverse du texte en surface, la couleur rouge participerait de la symbolique de la vie mais non de la mort. Dans the scarlet letter, la couleur fonctionne comme un signe linguistique. Couleur et langage s'averent confondus. La lettre ecarlate se presente comme un signe sacre dote d'une couleur, plus precisement d'une langue inconnue ("a tongue unknown") quoique "scarlet" evoque la prostituee de babylone explicitement mentionnee dans le texte. Elle appartient a l'origine des temps et sa signification ressort de l'enigme. En tant qu'embleme, elle suggere l'hieroglyphe ou 'image sacree' difficile a dechiffrer. Le rouge present dans "scarlet" se relie au script c'est-a-dire au signe ou a la lettre et d'autre part au livre (volume) en tant que sphere mythique
The study of the language of colors - notably the color red in "the masque of the red death" and in the scarlet letter has shown how it is linked with the problem of american identity. It is also centered around the myth of america being as a new world, or even as a new cosmogony. In these two mid-nineteenth century literary texts, the color red is linked with language. In "the masque of the red death", the red color is the pivot around which everything revolves. It cannot be separated from gold, the color black, alchemy or the elements. The subtle and complicated relationship between color and number, letters, the form of those letters and music show the way color is linked with writing. The "masque" would conceal the primal identity of america or the language of origin which the color red represents. A game of permutation of letters carried out on the color red, brings us to conclude that the red death could be identified among others to dionysos - symbol of life and disorder. Therefore death could represent a doorway to knowledge and rebirth. The plot must be understood, therefore, as the reverse of the surface text. In the scarlet letter, color works as a linguistic sign. Color and language become interchangeable. The scarlet letter appears as a sacred sign, colored, more precisely as a sign of "a tongue unknown", even if "scarlet" evokes the "scarlet whore of babylon", explicitely mentioned in the text. It belongs to an abolished past, to the origin of time and its meaning comes from the enigma, from mystery itself. As an emblem, the letter suggests the hieroglyphic. The color red present in "scarlet" is linked to the script that is to say, to the sign or the letter and to the book (volume) as a mythic sphere
