The type of mood that is established at the beginning of the story is dark and foreboding. this mood pretty much stays throughout the story, but fear and sadness are developed later when their son dies, and as his corpse is dragging itself up the road. There is also a sense of sadness as the father wishes the son away, using the final wish from the paw, and then burning it. Also, there is a sense of fear every time the gate creaks.

The overall mood is one of foreboding. The story begins with a warm and cozy atmosphere inside the White family home, while it’s chilly outside. Every time the son, Herbert, interacts with his parents, the mood becomes lighthearted and warm. Mr. and Mrs. White also share an affectionate relationship, which helps create the setting of a warm domestic household. However, the mood inside the house turns gloomy with the arrival of Sergeant-Major Morris, who brings a wish-granting monkey’s paw. The mood becomes more menacing each time the money’s paw is mentioned, overtaking the household’s warmth. When Mr. White wishes for his son to come back to life, the mood turns ominous.

While fallacy of equivocation deals with fallacies resulting from ambiguity caused by use of a word that could mean so many things, fallacy of amphiboly deals with fallacies from ambiguity of phrases and sentences.

What should audience members ask themselves when they evaluate how an actor interprets a character? Check all that apply.

pychu [463]

In order to evaluate how an actor interprets a character it is important for the audience to ask themselves these three things:

1. Which words does the actor emphasize? <em>(1)</em>

This helps the audience identify which words the actor thinks are most important to help establish the tone and meaning of the character's words.

2. What gestures and movements does the actor make? (5)

People often say that actions speak louder than words, so how the actor portrays the character's non-verbals shows a lot about how the actor believes the character to be.

3. What emotions does the actor convey? (6)

The characters in the story show different emotions that go along with the storyline or help explain something unwritten. So, when an actor shows emotions they are helping to evolve the character within the story.

The other options: "What makes this a talented actor?", "How old is the actor?" , and "In what other productions has the actor appeared?" do not have to do with how the character is interpreted, but rather the actor themselves or the casting for the character.
