Blog This: One Minute Response

(Q):What possibilities does a masquerade afford its participants?

(A): A masquerade offers individualism to its participants.  Attendees can be who they want to be, without punishment or judgement. It also offers secretism to its partakers.  They can freely hide behind their masks, and pretend to be other people than who they are. Thus, it enables them to talk this way and act this way.  In the context of a masquerade this is acceptable.  Outisde of such an occasion, similar behavior and appearance would not be acceptable.
