Lucifer’s light, like the Red Death’s presence, pierces through the veils of illusion. It reveals the masks we wear, the fortresses we build, and the fears we hide from.
As we journey deeper into The Masque of the Red Death, we encounter a profound parallel between the archetype of Lucifer as the Lightbringer and the unyielding force of the Red Death. Both figures, often misunderstood as harbingers of destruction, serve a far more significant role: they are catalysts for truth, transformation, and revelation. By unmasking illusions and confronting shadows, they illuminate the path to wholeness.
