The theme of the story is "inevitably of the death and futile try to escape it" and the ebony clock in the seventh room was the symbol of "inevitability of death".

Explanation:

"The Masque of the Red Death" is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. The story is Gothic fiction.

In the story, Poe has tried to rendition to the age-old story of Everyman. Poe's story deals with illimitable dominion of death and its omnipresence, and futile try of people trying to escape the death.

The Ebony clock in the Seventh Chamber of the Prince's "castellated abbey". This ebony clock was the symbol of the inevitability of death. This clock constantly reminded the revelers of the death. Just as revelers were unable to stop the pendulum of ebony clock from ticking, they were unable to stop the death approaching.

In the end, Prince and the revelers all die and were not able to escape death. Even the strong and lofty walls and the iron gates could not stop "Red Death" to enter the abbey. This leads to the development of the story's theme.

The clock reinforces the idea that life is fleeting and this ties in with the story's theme that death is inevitable.

We can reach this conclusion because:

In "The Masque of the Red Death" we can see a prince and a group of nobles who hide in a castle to survive a plague that devastated the city.The chiming of the clock caused a noise that startled all the guests and reminded them that time was passing.This reinforces the idea that life is fleeting because with each passing minute we grow older, get sick, and are closer to death.

The story has as its theme the idea that death is inevitable, as time takes us close to it at all times. Time is represented by the clock, which makes a direct connection with the theme.
