This is an extremely tragic end to the second instalment. The third instalment again has a catch-up, but this is the first part that starts outside of the safety area of the house, there is an overwhelming feeling of grief and depression through the air, and the house is ‘steeped in shadow and silence’. Another time lapse, and the action picks up again, the tension raised as Mrs.
White has a plan to use the paw to bring back her son, but Mr. White of course knows he will not be the same, the reader may be split over both sides and the language Jacobs used is fast-paced and create a lot of tension as a lot happens, but a lot happens over a lot of words, so it also creates suspense for the reader. There is a change in thought between Mr. And Mrs. White, as she now wants to use the paw, believing it is magical, and Mr.
White is trying to convince her it is not and convincing her not to use it, although he is the one to go and get it. The description of Mr. White descending in to the parlour where the paw is kept is not too long, but the sentences and description are drawn out, creating a lot of suspense through the time it takes him to get it compared to the length of the sentences. Mrs. White, almost crazed forces Mr.
White to wish for Herbert back, Jacobs starts to make the reader feel terrible that this has happened to the family, but desperately wanting to read on to see the outcome. Jacobs’s language slows down, but almost suddenly picks up again as the knocking on the door causes Mrs. White to try to open in, the tension skyrockets as it is a race of if Mrs. White can open the door before Mr. White can find the paw, the language is so fast paced the tension is likely at its highest as the reader is immersed in the dramatic climax. The tension stays right up until Mr. White ‘frantically breathes his last wish’, and the action is brought right down, with long, drawn out sentences as the terror dissipates and the story comes to it’s conclusion. In conclusion, I think ‘The Monkey’s Paw’ is a very well written mystery story, I think Jacobs, with his use of language keeps excitement, tension and suspense, and with the way the story unravels, the reader becomes very attached to the characters even though it is a short story, feeling emotions for the characters, such as sorrow. I think ‘The Monkey’s Paw’ contains all the correct elements, and good language, so I think it is a very good mystery story.
