Explanation:
The short story "The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs evolve around the wish-granting item of a monkey's paw that was acquired by Mr. White, the protagonist of the story. The story delves into the themes of myth, superstition, greed, and death.
After acquiring the monkey's paw from Sergeant-Major Morris, Mr. White did not really have any belief in the story of the wish-granting ability. But pressurized by his wife and son, he decided to "test" the charm and wished for <em>"two hundred pounds"</em> so that they can pay off the mortgage for the house. He was at first skeptical about the wish coming true but when he got the right amount, though, at the cost of his son's life, he began to get scared.
His second wish was to bring his son back, again after being pressurized by his wife. To him, the first wish was <em>"A c-c-coincidence"</em> and even stated <em>"It is foolish and wicked"</em> to wish for another thing, that too, for his son to be brought back alive after the gruesome way he died. And when the knocking started, he was petrified for what was to be at the door. The line <em>'"A rat,” said the old man shakily – "a rat. It passed me on the stairs."' </em>reveals the real nature of the old man when he hears the knocking at the door.
And then, after realizing that it was probably their dead son coming alive again, Mr. White<em> "was on his hands and knees feeling around wildly on the floor in search of the paw"</em> so that he can make his third wish and make <em>"the thing"</em> at the door go away. The very nature of addressing whoever/ whatever was at the door as<em> "the thing"</em> suggests that whatever was there is something that isn't natural. Mr. White's frantic reaction and wish to make the knocking stop shows his scared reaction to the wishes he had made.

Explanation:
For the answer to the question above, t<span>he quote is that we are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny." I think he means that our lives are unavoidably connected with each other -- like a network of threads that can't really be untied/unknotted, and that we share a common destiny, whatever it may be. As much as some people may want to believe and live their lives as if they are completely alone and independent of other people -- or as part of one group that can remain isolated from other groups -- he is pointing out that our fates are necessarily intertwined to some extent. He seems to be using a fabric metaphor-- a network of threads becomes a single garment which represents our collective destiny as a society. </span>
<span>You can kind of see an example of this in the economic situation in the world today. It is hard to find a place in the world today where individuals are not experiencing some effect of this economy, which is tied to gas prices, which is tied to food and commodity prices, which is tied to people paying their bills, which is tied to foreclosures, which is tied to big banks asset portfolio, which is tied to credit availability, which is tied to investor confidence, etc.... Each of us is affected somewhere along the line.</span>
