Analysis Of The Monkey Paw And The Monkey's Paw

After Herbert asked Morris if he already requested his three wishes, Morris replies with, “‘I have,’...and his blotchy face whitened” (Jacobs). With Morris’s face whitening, it tacitly tells the audience that something terrifying happened when Morris made his wishes.
