Question

How would you define the mood throughout the story “The Monkey’s Paw”?

Answer 1

I'd say it's a seriously, gloomy, horrible mood, like how the people die, and when the old man is telling the story about the paw.

Answer 2

We would define the mood throughout the story "The Monkey';s Paw" by defining "Creepy" and "Foreboding" as these are two descriptions of the mood that prevails in W. W. Jacobs' short story

Hope this helps!
