Detailed explanation-1: -Poe’s most prolific use of color in the story is his use of both red, which to him symbolized terror, horror, an ending of life; and black, which symbolized death and destruction. The final room, the red and black room, faces west, which represents the setting sun.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Black Room Anyone standing in this room would get the illusion that they were burdened with the Red Death. Due to the fact that the black room symbolizes the end, it also incorporates the end of the story. At the conclusion of the story, Prince Prospero is confronting the Red Death in the violet room.
Detailed explanation-3: -Blood, established as an enemy from the start, is the source of the pestilence that led to Prospero’s arrogance and eventual downfall. Once the last of the masqueraders has died, the trinity dissolves, with the masked figure’s proving intangible, the clock’s ceasing to tick, and the blood’s splattering the walls.
