Answer :
A complication that makes it difficult for the characters to reach their goal in the story of the monkey’s paw is that the monkey’s paw they use grants their wishes, but it comes at a terrible cost.
Explanation:
In a 1939 letter, John Steinbeck wrote that his goal for The Grapes of Wrath was “to rip a reader's nerves to rags.” Through the novel, Steinbeck wanted readers to experience the life of the Dust Bowl migrants with whom he had spent time.
Mercutio's dying words use a pun on the word "grave."
He says, "ask for me tomorrow and you shall find me a grave man." On the one hand, he means that tomorrow he'll be serious, or seriously injured; on the other hand, he means tomorrow he will be literally in a grave.
Mercutio is implying that, despite the wound's small size, it is a fatal wound that will kill him quickly.
