Poe＇s unique symbolic method as manifested in his tale The Masque of the Red Death. It offers a picture of the general state of critical treatment of the supposed opposition between allegory and symbol. I present a historical overview of how the distinction between the literary terms arose, tracing the roots of the issue to the end of the 18th century and showing its development over the next two centuries. The second section of the paper is devoted to the analysis of The Masque in the light of the theoretical background provided in the opening section. The Masque is interpreted in terms of Poe＇s modulation of＂closed＂ and ＂open＂ symbolism by focusing on aspects of the story that relate to the use of numbers, colors, and time.展开更多

Grice’s Cooperative Principle and its component maxims: Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner, which is not merely a manifestation of her personal eccentricity but also a powerful linguistic act of resistance. Through her non-cooperative speeches, Emily asserts her autonomy, defies the probing and judgmental gaze of her community, and maintains the integrity of her isolated world. Ultimately, she symbolizes the Old South’s desperate, tragic, and often grotesque struggle against the inevitable forces of change and modernization.展开更多
