"There was a sharp cry -- and the dagger dropped gleaming upon the sable carpet, upon which instantly afterwards, fell prostrate in death the Prince Prospero" (Poe 6).
In Poe's ''The Masque of the Red Death'' and in ''Prison Break, Prospero and Michael Scofield leave the audience frustrated and full of angst because they cannot control the lives of others.
''And the flames of the tripods expired. And the Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all'' (Poe 6).
''A strong and lofty wall girdled it in. This wall had gates of iron. The courtiers, having entered, brought furnaces and massy hammers and welded the bolts'' (Poe1).
