Question

In the context of the story the monkeys

Answer 1

Taking the context of "The Monkey's Paw" into consideration, we can answer in the following manner:

1. According to the story, families may have a hard time facing the death of a family member. When someone dies, everyone suffers. Some, however, may accept the event better than others.

2. It is better to accept death when there is nothing one can do about it, when the person is already gone. It is better to fight death when the person is still alive, perhaps struggling with some illness. Then, it is good to fight, get treatment, deal with the problem.

3. Each approach has a different impact on people. If a family member dies and the others do not accept it, they will not be able to move on and heal from the trauma. That will certainly take a toll on their mental and physical health.

Accepting death may be better for those who are alive. They are better equipped to deal with reality and to move on.

• "The Monkey's Paw" is a short story by W. W. Jacobs.

• A mummified monkey's paw is brought into the Whites' home. It is magical and can grant three wishes.

• The Whites are warned, however, that they should not use the paw. That bad things happen to those who use it.

• They use it anyway, and the first wish results in the death of their son.

• Mrs. White is unable to accept her son's death and makes her husband wish for their son's return.

• Mr. White makes the wish, and it seems to have worked. However, their son died in an awful manner, and his body was greatly harmed.

• Mr. White ends up wishing for his son to go away again.

• The story shows that accepting death is probably better for those who are still alive.

• Clinging to the past and to the memory of the person who died can have an emotional and psychological impact on those who are still here.
