Gothic
A recurring motif in The Masque of the Red Death is revenge. Prince Prospero thinks that with all his wealth, and resources, he can escape death (the epidemic around him). After a couple months of quarentine, the Prince throws a ball and when an intruder comes into the party, the prince gets furious, and wants someone to get the intruder, but no one will go near him. This creates suspense because there is an intruder in the party, there for revenge, and no one will go near them, because they're scared of what they will do. Also, they had no idea where the intruder came from, since the castle has been under lockdown, for so long.
