The Monkey's Paw
W.W. Jacobs
Character Description
I choose the character Mr.White.
"For God's sake don't let it in"cried the old manx, trembling in fear. This quote from the story shows how afraid he was about what his son would look like or whatever was at the door.
"It's foolish and wicked,"he faltered.This quote show that he did not believe in the magical powers that the paw was supposed to have.
Mood
The mood that in the story is gloomy.
"Of all the beastly, slushy, out of the way places to live in, this is the worst. Path's a bog, and the road's a torrent."
"The room was in darkness, and the sound of subdued weeping came from the window."
Theme
The theme of the story is be careful what you wish for!
