Consequences Depicted In 'The Monkey Paw' By W. Jacobs

“The Monkey Paw” by W.W. Jacobs is a horror story, about a cursed monkey’s paw. In the story, it shows that for every action there are good or bad consequences. For an example, if someone has a B- in math and one thought that he was good and didn’t study for a test, he may fail. He thought it won’t affect him, but then he didn’t study again for a test and failed when he went to go check he grades he found out that in math he had a D. There are many examples for this in “The Monkey Paw”. Therefore, in every action, there are consequences, good or bad.

In the story “The Monkey Paw” it shows examples of, how for every action there are consequences good or bad. Mr. White shows us that when he uses the monkey’s paw he wished without thinking of the consequences. Mr. White wished for 200 pounds of money. However, when the White’s received the 200 pounds they got news that their son Herbert was dead. In the text, it states “He was caught in the machinery, said the visitor at length in a low voice. Caught in the machinery, repeated Mr. White, in a dazed fashion, yes...I was to say that Maw and Meggins disclaim all responsibility, continued the other. They admit no liability at all, but in consideration of your son’s services, they wish to present you with a

certain sum as compensation...How much? Two hundred pounds,” This shows that the White’s should have listened to Sergeant-Major Morris warnings about the monkey’s paw. For this, it shows that by wishing for 200 pounds there consequence was their son’s death.
Another example forms the passage “The Monkey Paw” is when he used the paw to wish for his son to live again. Of course, there was a side effect to him. He changed, he was dangerous, he was different, and wasn’t their son anymore. Herbert was alive but at the same time still dead. In the passage it says “You’re afraid of your own son, she cried, struggling. Let me go. I’m coming, Herbert; I’m coming. There was another knock and another. The old women with a sudden wrench broke free and ran from the room. Her husband followed to the landing and called offer her appealing as she hurried downstairs...But her husband was on his hands and knees, groping wildly, on the floor in search of the paw. If he could only find it before that thing outside got in.” The piece of evidence shows us that the monkey’s paw is dangerous and they should haven’t used it again. For this, it shows that by Mr. White wishing for their son to live again the consequence was that he was different, changed and very dangerous.
There are many examples of for every action there are good and bad consequences for them.

One example is when they let Sergeant-Major Morris into their house. By letting Sergeant-Major Morris into their house they got the cursed paw. If it wasn’t for Sergeant-Major Morris the White’s son would still be alive and they would have been the same. For this action, by letting Sergeant-Major Morris into the house for a drink their consequence was that Sergeant-Major Morris told them about the monkey’s paw and its power to grant wishes but with a price. Even though Sergeant-Major Morris warned them they didn’t listen. So this tells us that by inviting Sergeant-Major Morris and the monkey’s paw they lost a

son.
For every action, there are consequences, good or bad. The story “The Monkey Paw” there was an example like when Mr. White wished for 200 pounds or when he wished for their son to live again and when they let Sergeant-Major Morris into their home and gave them the monkey's paw. So in conclusion in the story “The Monkey Paw” it shows many examples of for every action there is the consequence, good and bad.
