Sample Essay
Authors like to provide clues and
hints throughout their stories to give readers ideas about events that will
happen later. This is called foreshadowing. It is aimed to create tension,
making the readers eager to know what will happen next. To create tension,
suspense, and uncertainty in his story, W.W. Jacobs employs this technique.
For instance, when the sergeant-major
was not willing to talk about the paw or give it to Mr. White, Jacobs gives
clues and hints to foreshadow the tragic results of the first wish. To the
sergeant-major, the first man who had the paw used his third wish to bid for
his own death. This will generate fear in the mind of the reader who would want
to know what might happen to the White family in the event they make a wish on
the monkey’s paw.
When the Whites have two wishes left
after keeping the monkey’s paw, Jacobs foreshadows the ending, filled in
suspense, which leaves the reader to speculate on when and how the Whites will
use their final two wishes and whether doing so lead them to happiness or more
agony.
So, what does Jacobs has in common
with most good storytellers? Jacobs, like them, keeps the reader in suspense in
“The Monkey’s Paw” by creating tension. To do this, he foreshadows the ominous
results of wishing on the monkey’s paw, not wanting the whites to suffer as
others have. In addition, he foreshadows a suspense-filled ending by leaving
the monkey’s paw in the White’s possession with two wishes remaining. The occurrence
of foreshadowing does a lot to create the suspense that keep us interested in
reading, wanting to know more, especially how the White family will end.
