The Clock
The clock is another non-character element, a massive, ebony timepiece whose chimes provoke anxiety and contemplation among the guests each hour.
Prince Prospero
Prince Prospero is the wealthy nobleman who attempts to avoid a deadly plague by secluding himself and a thousand other nobles in an abbey.
The Abbey
The abbey is not a character, but it is Prince Prospero's lavish fortress designed to protect the nobles from the plague and serves as the setting for the story.
The Red Death
The Red Death is the personified version of the plague, which ultimately infiltrates Prince Prospero's abbey and claims the lives of all the revelers.
The Seven Colored Rooms
The rooms, arranged from east to west, each has a different color which corresponds to a different stage of life, with the final room representing death.
Masquerade Ball Guests
The guests are the nobility who attend Prince Prospero's ball, seeking to escape the plague but instead meet their end within the abbey's walls.
