Question

Apart from entertaining readers, what are the other two main purposes of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death"?
to reveal the prince's wealth
to show how power and wealth can't shelter people
to describe the elaborate and extravagant party hosted by the prince
to criticize those who lack empathy for others

Answer 1

I would say "to show how power and wealth can't shelter people" because Death will come for us all, no matter how much money or power they have.
