what is the tone of the following excerpt from edgar allan poe's "the masque of the red death"?
there was a sharp cry--and the dagger dropped gleaming upon the sable carpet, upon which, instantly afterwards, fell prostrate in death the

and now was acknowledged the presence of the red death. he had come like a thief in the night. and one by one dropped the revellers in the
blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. and the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last
of the gay. and the flames of the tripods expired. and darkness and decay and the red death held illimitable dominion over all
