The Monkey's Paw is a tale of warning. The short story is
a warning to us all about what is really important in life. It makes us question our
moral values. The Whites have a good life. Once the monkey's paw is introduced to them,
everything changes for them. It changes the moral values they each have. The warning of
the paw is that you need to be really careful what you wish for. The White's are warned
that the outcome of the wishes is not what they think it
is.
The Whites live a pretty normal life. They have a home
and food and all of their basic needs are met. They are like everybody else in wanting
to have what is unattainable to them. They want the money to pay off their house, even
though they are financially comfortable. When they make the wish for the money, they
have no idea of the nightmare it is bringing to their
family.
This short story is a tragic look into the greed
that lays at the bottom of the human heart. We always seem to want what someone else
has. The moral of this story tells the reader to beware of thinking someone else has it
better than you.
