This is another representation of the Red Death. It perfectly represents the description from the story. It has the "habiliments of the grave" and "the mask which concealed the visage was made so nearly to resemble the countenance of a stiffened corpse" (Poe 259). It also shows that there is nothing behind the mask, as there is nothing behind death, controlling its movements and actions. The midnight clock is stained red with blood, as it tolls for the last time with the deaths of the revelers.
