A complex sentence has at least one independent clause plus at least one dependent clause
I believe the answer is D.
The guest are happy that they are able to wall off themselves from the world containing the Red Death. They planned to live and dance in luxury until disease died out. The only thing halting their excitement was the ominous clock chimes where all would stop until it ended.
Both families hate each other, but R falls for J and vice versa. This causes R to kill T in revenge for M's death and he must leave to some shanty-town; T doesn't like R, vice versa, and despite R loving J and therefore wanting to love her family, he can't bring himself to forgive T for M's death and it might because of R's family hating J's family. J wants to find a way run away with R and decides to fake her death since her family cannot forgive R and R did commit a murder that should be paid with his own head. A letter is sent, but R doesn't get it since he decides to return after hearing of J's "death". He ends up fighting P who was to be J's husband and commits suicide. J wakes up and finds R dying and kills herself too so they can both be together forever. <span>The whole "I hate you" is the reason why they both died. They could of ran off together, but their families would track them down and blame the other which would probably lead to both of R's and J's deaths. Hatred leads to M's, T's, and P's death since M was hated for being friendly with R's family, T's death was in revenge and perhaps a subconscious hatred of J's family, and P's death came from P blaming R for for J's "death" and perhaps a hatred for R's family as well. Basically, this story is about stupid things screwing over stupid, but nice people.</span>
Answer:
- The story revolves around a mysterious cursed talisman—a monkey’s paw that symbolizes greed—everything that its owner could possibly wish for and the unrestricted ability to make it happen. This power makes the paw alluring, even to unselfish people who desire nothing and have everything they need. Mr. White, for example, is eager to procure the paw, even though he admits he is in need of nothing and is unsure of what to wish for. Herbert jokingly suggests that his father wish for money, which he does not need, just for the sake of it. This thought process illustrates how easily the paw can sway minds. The paw represents greed and brings out the selfish desire dormant in even the most content people. The wish is granted, but with unexpected, sinister consequences.
- Keeping in mind the motif of three, one of the most common representations of a group of three in Western culture is the Holy Trinity from Christianity. It refers to Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. The monkey's paw hails from a faraway land where it was cursed by an Indian holy man – making it an anti-Christian symbol. Hence it disregards Christianity and the Holy Trinity, bringing unfortunate consequences to the family that indulges in it.
