Loved it, great reading to match the story.
Since I already knew what happened and most of the details, I was looking for alternative interpretations. Throughout most of it this time I was thinking that the prince was actually the one who would be wearing the mask, or at least to have arranged it, as an alternate interpretation to the Red Death actually showing up, but that turned out to be untrue on several counts.
To me, even more interesting than the arrival of the Red Death, is the design of the 7th room. I get that he's eccentric in his designs, but that seems to go beyond eccentric to design a room that you know no one is going to have the guts to hang out in, and the clock that unnerves everyone who hears it. I like how the clock seemed to intensify the revelry after its chiming, as if to spit in the face of death, and the end shows just how futile ignoring death will turn out to be, for everyone.
