Well, angst is a complex and complicated emotion. One might even say this emotion could result in spite which often drives artist in creating high expectations of success. This spite would come from the deep feeling of dread that is angst for if one feels imminent doom than they'd feel the need to defend or prove themselves. On the other hand one might say angst could hold an artist back in their work allowing the angst to lead to pure depression therefore lacking or having no motivation to complete or even start a work. Some achieve great works due to pure angst. Take Edgar Allen Poe for example, a man ridden with angst who created terrifying yet magnificent stories such as "The Raven" and "The Tell-Tale Heart". Angst is not what defines an artist temperament nor expectations of success for it is the artist that determines how their angst is channeled into such things.

The two parts of this excerpt from W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" show that show the White family doesn't believe in the talisman's power are:
"Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'" said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper.
The 'Arabian Nights' were stories made up by the narrator Scheherazade and told to the King over 1001 nights so that he would not kill her as he had done with so many other women in the past. In this way, it signifies that Mrs. White believes this story to be a made-up tale.
and
"Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me." Her husband drew the talisman from his pocket, and all three burst into laughter
Mr. White is jokingly asking to be given four pairs of hands, something that isn't sensible or realistic, because he does not believe in the power of the talisman to grant wishes. In the end the three burst in laughter as they do not take the talisman, or the story of it's power, seriously.
