The masquerade ball, in "The Masque of the Red Death," is
a "masked" affair, symbolic of
A. people's love to dress up as somebody
else.
B. how shy people are about showing
their real faces.
C. that which is concealed, which is not
real.

C

Explanation:

The best choice would be c because the masque of the red death is about how all the fancy people went to a party to escape the fate that only the poor suffered, "the red death." What they thought they could escape ended up killing the host of the party. It can't be A or B because I feel like they could care less whether or not people knew they were rich and they would show it off. Best answer is C because a mystery figure comes in wearing a mask like all the others, and takes the host to the scarlett or dark red room where he dies. With C they all where masks as to show that they are all having fun and none of this red death stuff actually exists giving off the idea, "that which is concealed, which is not real."
