The Monkey's Paw
“The Monkey’s Paw” is a classic horror short story written by English author W.W. Jacobs, first published in 1902. This chilling tale explores themes of fate, greed, and the dangers of tampering with the natural order.
The story centers around the White family – Mr. and Mrs. White and their adult son Herbert. They receive a visit from Sergeant-Major Morris, a family friend who has returned from India. He brings with him a mummified monkey’s paw, which he claims has the power to grant three wishes to three different owners. However, Morris warns that using the paw comes with terrible consequences.
Despite the warning, Mr. White decides to make a wish, setting off a series of tragic events that demonstrate the old adage “be careful what you wish for.” The story is known for its suspenseful atmosphere, unexpected twists, and exploration of human nature when faced with supernatural temptation.
