opens on a dark and stormy night as the three members of the White family relax inside their cozy house. Herbert White and his father are playing a game of chess while Mrs. White knits near the fire. After his son wins, Mr. White complains about the terrible weather and nearly deserted road they live near.

A family friend, Sergeant-Major Morris, arrives for a visit. Over whisky, he tells stories of his exploits abroad. Mr. White expresses interest in going to India, but the sergeant-major says he would be better off staying at home. At Mr. and Mrs. Whites’ urging, Sergeant-Major Morris takes a small, mummified paw out of his pocket. He explains that a fakir (a mystic miracle worker) placed a spell on the paw to prove that people’s lives are governed by fate and that it is dangerous to meddle with fate. According to the sergeant-major, three men can wish on the paw three times each. The sergeant-major himself has already had his three wishes, as has another man, who used his third wish to ask for death. The sergeant-major has considered selling the paw, but he doesn’t want it to cause any more trouble than it already has. Moreover, no one will buy the paw without first seeing proof of its effect. The sergeant-major throws the paw into the fire, and Mr. White quickly rescues it. The sergeant-major warns him three times to leave the paw alone, but he eventually explains how to make a wish on the paw.

Mrs. White says the story reminds her of the Arabian Nights and jokingly suggests that her husband wish her a pair of extra hands to help her with all her work. The sergeant-major doesn’t find this joke funny, however, and urges Mr. White to use common sense if he insists on wishing. After supper and more tales of India, the sergeant-major leaves. Herbert says he thinks the sergeant-major is full of nonsense and jokes that his father should make himself an emperor so that he doesn’t have to listen to Mrs. White’s nagging. In mock anger, Mrs. White playfully chases her son.

Mr. White says he has everything he wants and isn’t sure what to wish for. Herbert says that two hundred pounds would enable them to pay off the money owed for the house. Mr. White wishes aloud for two hundred pounds as Herbert accompanies him with melodramatic chords played on the piano. Mr. White suddenly cries out and says that the paw moved like a snake in his hand. After Mr. and Mrs. White go to bed, Herbert sits by the fire and sees a vividly realistic monkey face in the flames. He puts out the fire, takes the monkey’s paw, and goes to bed.

Part II begins on the next morning, a sunny winter day. The room seems cheerful and normal in contrast to the previous evening’s gloomy atmosphere and the mummified paw now looks harmless. Mrs. White comments on how ridiculous the sergeant-major’s story was but remarks that two hundred pounds couldn’t do any harm. They could, Herbert jokes, if the money fell out of the sky onto his father’s head. Mr. White answers that people often mistake coincidence for granted wishes. Herbert then leaves for work.

Later that day, Mrs. White notices a stranger outside dressed in nice clothes. The stranger hesitantly approaches their gate three times before opening it and coming up to the door. Mrs. White ushers him in. He nervously states that he is a representative of Maw and Meggins, Herbert’s employer. Mrs. White asks whether Herbert is all right, and the representative says he is hurt, but in no pain. For a moment, Mrs. White feels relieved, until she realizes that Herbert feels no pain because he’s dead. The representative says that Herbert was “caught in the machinery.” After a pause, Mr. White says that Herbert was the only child they had left. Embarrassed, the representative stresses that he is simply obeying Maw and Meggins’s orders. He then explains that the company will not take any responsibility for the death but will give the Whites two hundred pounds. Mrs. White shrieks, and Mr. White faints.

In Part III, the Whites bury Herbert. Several days pass, and the couple feels exhausted and hopeless. A week after the burial, Mr. White wakes up and hears his wife crying by the window. He gently urges her to come back to bed, but she refuses. He dozes off again until Mrs. White suddenly cries out that she wants the monkey’s paw. In hysterics, she tells him to go downstairs and wish Herbert back to life. Mr. White resists and tells her that Herbert’s death and the two hundred pounds they had received had nothing to do with his wish the previous night. Mr. White says that he didn’t want to tell her before, but Herbert was so mangled that he had to identify the body by looking at the clothes. Mrs. White doesn’t listen, however, and continues to insist on wishing Herbert back to life with the monkey’s paw.

Question #1:

In the short film, the girl is seen to start getting frantic when the elevator stopped and anxious which is why she pressed the elevator buttons to see if she could get to the floor faster and finally escape this "nightmare". in the story Martin describes his fear of being stuck in the elevator for hours and if they would would be able to get him out if he pressed a button and all went wrong when that happen, just being in their for hours was enough for him to want to not be in elevator at all. The similarities between the girl in the film and Martin was that in both scenes of the story and film, they were anxiously waiting to get out of the elevator, worried about the possibilities that may become reality. Some examples of this in the story are, "Perhaps it was the way the mechanism shuddered in a kind of exhaustion each time it left the floor, as though it might never reach the next one." Another example is, " His eyes fixed on the numbers over the door that blinked on and off haltingly, as if any moment they might simpliy give up." One last example is, "Sometimes he forced himself to look away from them, to the Emergency Stop button or the red Alarm button. What would happen if he pushed one of them❓Would a bell ring ❓ And if it did, how would they get him out ❓"

Question #2:

In the short film, the mysterious figure is seen to be starting at the lady as she elevator finally stops which is when the lady only felt fear and was desperate to escape, but in Martin's case, the fat lady on the elevator was only to be described my Martin to only be starting at him which filled him with a bunch of negative ideas of outcomes or schemes that the lady could be planning, just worrying overall about the woman in the elevators intentions. The situation that both protagonists were put in are similar because they were both worried about the intentions of the beings (mystrious figure/fat lady) in front of them. One example in the story is, "  She was still watching him. Here nose tilited up; there was a large space between her nostrils and her upper lip, giving her a piggish look. He looked away again, clenching his teeth, fighting the impulse to squeeze his eyes shut against her." Another example is, " She had to be crazy. Why else would she stare at him this way❓ What was she going to do next❓" One last example is, " He thought about her all day. Did she live in the building ❓He had never seen her before, and the building wasn't very big-only four apartments on each floor. It seemed likely that she didn't live there and had only been visiting sombody. But if she was only visiting somebody, why was she leaving the building at seven thirty in the morning❓"
