Reread lines 62-65, in which the sergeant-major explains how the monkey’s paw supposedly got its power. Based on what you know from your reading of the story, do you think that the paw itself is powerful, or is its power dependent on the superstitious nature of the person who possesses it?

Respuesta :

In W.W. Jacobs' "The Monkey's Paw," I think that the power of the paw depends on the superstitious nature of the person who possesses it.

There is a process to the way faith works. One needs to believe first. Faith is the foundation of miracles. If the Sergeant-major Morris does not believe in the Monkey Paw, it cannot produce any fruit by itself. After all, the holy fakir only imbued the paw with its magic vigor.

The sergeant-major also uses his faith in the power of the paw to convince the Whites to make their wishes, which came through. One must believe that God exists before one can experience His overwhelming presence.

The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs teaches that the human race should not toy with supernatural powers.

Thus, conscientiousness should come before making a wish since it may come true.
