It’s amazing how relevant this story is in the modern day

@tHeForger1145 Год назад

That what makes a good writer

@maxvangeldere320 Год назад

Gladly it’s not as deadly 😅

@jamesb1856 Год назад

Not even close. The Red Death flew through the rooms dropping bodies. COVID killed your neighbors ex wife's cousin

@catherinecao4810 Год назад

@@jamesb1856 I was talking about the “willfully ignorant power-trippers having a shin-dig”, but yeah, it’s not exactly a good direct comparison

@tHeForger1145 Год назад

The clock is a auditory representation of the plague outside even though they can have fun and party that darkness is still looming over them and every hour that passes that darkness looms over them further

Carrie: where intellect and beauty compete neck and neck for my attention. luckily I don’t have to be as smart as her to receive her insight. It’s nice to laze on the couch and ignore the clock myself while watching these Poe Analyses - Sir Simp

Not mentioned is that Prince Prospero was a significant character in Shakespeare's The Tempest .

@shilohgilbert9770 2 года назад

Thank you for all of your informative summaries. I would love if you did one for The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe.

@CarrieHoover 2 года назад

I'm working on that one now! Thank you for watching!

@laurencehubbard5240 2 года назад

Fascinating Poe analyses, not sure if I missed your mention of it but I think Prospero is also an isolated Italian magician in Shakespeare's The Tempest. Both Prosperos creatively build a dreamlike revelry, that comes to an untimely end in both cases. I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on Ligeia or Morella.

@CarrieHoover 2 года назад

"Ligeia" is on my list!

Great analysis Carrie. I am leading a book discussion of the story in a week and you have inspired me. Not really discussed thougjh is who is the narrator in story- the I or me?. I can not decide whether it is Prospero or the Red Death himself. I understood your reason for bringing up the Belshazzar story fron bible. But Belshazzar is not mentioned in Poe's story , as I recall, so I dont think I will bring it up to my group members in discussion.

@MikeFrench101 2 года назад

Thanks for the video, I love this story. I'm curious what your thoughts are on the narrator. There's a few I's in this tale and everyone in the story dies. Do you think this is told by the Red Death?

Dear miss, can you please post a video on Poe's 'The Raven', or Hugh Selwyn Mauberley by Ezra Pound?? Your videos are really helpful for studying literature, and just interesting to know about certain books and poems, especially Edgar Allan Poe✨️

@campionpesate4647 Год назад

Nah schools are to blame for forcing you to learn literature. otherwise people who enjoy literature will just enjoy it, and those that don't care can avoid it
