I think the cane represents C. HIS SELF-CONSCIOUS DISPLAYS OF AUTHORITY.
Notice that when people using canes are in public, people around them make it a point to make sure that they get out of the way to ensure that the person using a cane will not be hindered. People are more quick to react or help if they find that the person in need is using a cane or is in a wheelchair.
Majority of people using canes are those who are elderly, thus gaining immediate respect and subservience from others.
Answer:
A. The fakir's prediction that anyone who interferes with fate will be sorry.
Explanation:
W. W. Jacobs' short story <em>"The Monkey's Paw"</em> revolves around the theme of superstitious beliefs emanating from an ancient relic called <em>"the paw"</em> from India. This piece of the animal body seemed to have the ability to grant any wish that its owner might have, much like the fairy-tale story of Aladdin and the genie in the lamp.
Foreshadowing provides a sense of knowing something before it happens. This allows a writer to provide hints that will be about what will happen in the coming scenes. And in this story, foreshadowing is clearly seen in the Sergeant-Major's words when he mentions about the fakir's warning of how <em>"fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow"</em>. This seems to be true, for the first owner's third wish was death and that was how the 'thing' came to be in the possession of the Sergeant-Major. And this warning <em><u>foreshadows how Herbert White will wish for £200 which will lead to the unfortunate death of his son and the said amount being given as compensation.
