Monkey's Paw Učne ure

Many tales have been told about people who tried to change the course of their lives by interfering with fate’s plans, and the dire consequences that result. “The Monkey’s Paw” by W.W. Jacobs examines how one man’s curiosity and desire to have more than he needs results in disastrous ramifications. Many students will already be familiar with similar wishing traditions, such as wishing upon a star, making a birthday wish, or throwing a coin into a fountain. While people often think of the possibilities of such wishes coming true, they don’t often think about the potential pitfalls that could happen instead. “The Monkey’s Paw” is a frightening tale that examines important themes such as what can happen when we try to interfere with fate, and the dangers of what happens when we follow our curiosity just a little too far. When fate’s plans get interrupted, it makes sure to restore that balance – at a price.
