Are my answers correct?
1. Describe the prince's fortification.
A: The castle-like structure, which is sealed shut so that no one can enter or exit, is designed to be the permanent residence for its inhabitants for a period of months. Designed by Prince Prospero, the castle reflects the Prince's "love of the bizarre." More interestingly, each "apartment" is themed in a different color. However, unlike the other vibrant rooms, the seventh and final room is "shrouded in black tapestries that hung all over the ceiling and down the walls" and has windows that are blood-red in color. Moreover, this room contains a gigantic ebony clock whose sound causes the castle's inhabitants to stop and shudder each time it chimes.
2. What does his desire to escape tell you about Prince Prospero?
A: Prince Prospero's desire to escape reveals that he doesn't care about the suffering of his people and rather wants to remain happy and carefree. His desire also reveals that Prince Prospero wishes to escape death.
Please!
1. Your answer for describing the prince's fortification is mostly correct. It accurately describes the castle-like structure and its unique features such as the different colored rooms and the seventh room with black tapestries and blood-red windows. However, you missed mentioning the fact that the fortification is sealed shut to prevent anyone from entering or exiting. Additionally, you could have highlighted the purpose of the fortification as a place of refuge from a deadly plague that ravages the outside world.
2. Your answer for what Prince Prospero's desire to escape tells us about him is partially correct. It correctly expresses that Prince Prospero is self-centered and disregards the suffering of his people. However, it falls short in fully explaining that his desire to escape is motivated by his fear of death. The story indicates that Prince Prospero believes he can avoid death by isolating himself in his fortified castle.
