<em>The detail from W. W .Jacobs’s "The Monkey’s Paw" that most clearly helps to create the tension is the time where Mr Morris seems scared to keep the monkey’s paw when Mr White asks him to. </em>
<em></em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
On visiting the White family, Sergeant-Major Morris takes out the monkey's paw and tells them about the story he had been told. The summary of the story was that an old fakir had put a spell on it to demonstrate the fact that destiny controlled the lives of individuals. Also, that the spell conceded a total of three wishes. Listening to this story and the conditions Mr Morris seemed scared.
