The Monkey's Paw What are the motifs in The Monkey's Paw by W. W. Jacobs? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 04:42 Last updated by Cat on 15 May 03:39
Jacobs’s story visits the idea of three being auspicious. Three separate owners get three wishes each. There are three members of the white family. Mrs. White orders her husband to wish Herbert back to life three times.
