"Red" by Hillary Monahan,

a reimagining of "The Masque of the Red Death"



Red comments about Boston, “All great cities have their multitudes, great wealth and great poverty co-existing in inequitable truce that sees those who have doing what they want and those who do not have suffering.” How do we see this in the story? Cite specific examples and the affect it has on the text.

​

Examine the description of the bouncers when Red first gets to the club and at the end of the story. What is ironic about this description versus their actions?

​

Analyze the idea of staying in your place and where you belong in the story. What is the statement Monahan is making about this?
