Join Allie and Emmy as they crash the party at Prospero's abbey! They will go in-depth on the tension, power, and snazzy words Poe infuses in his story about an avant garde masquerade decorated in denial of the outside world that is momentarily antagonized by a mysterious stranger. Get ready for some theories of how color plays into the story, what defines a character and a symbol, and maybe a tangent or two!
