Publisher's Synopsis
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment."The Mask of Red Death", it is one of my favorite stories. I had not read it until that moment, but since I am a fan of Edgar Allan Poe I signed up immediately. In addition, in the month of May this story will turn 175 years of having been published for the first time, and what better time to unscrew its narrative mechanics, and continue learning more from this teacher.The events are told from an external point of view, through a third-person narrator, who is limited to giving details of everything that can be observed and heard, however, it is not part of the events. Nor does he know the thoughts of any of the characters.Prince Prospero. Owner and lord of a great kingdom. A young man, physically described as: "robust." Clever, fearless, indolent and evil.
