“The Monkey’s Paw” is set in 19th century England. The story takes place in
a cabin in a deserted suburban area. The majority of the story’s scenes happen
at night, leaving only a few scenes in daylight. During the night, the weather
is never pleasant and often unsettling, but during the day the weather is
decent. The author purposely sets the suspenseful scenes during the nighttime
leaving the reader to expect something horrible to happen. The scenes that take
place during the day are not as scary and do not have the same affect as those
at night. The author’s main reason for setting this scenes at night is to
target the reader’s fears. For example, the scene where Mrs. White wishes for
her son to come back to life is set at night to make it fearful and
suspenseful. When their wish came true, it was a stormy night. There was heavy
rain, thunder and lightening. If it had been set in the daylight it would not
have had the same effect.
Everything about this story is odepious , things are tasty and sensual. I want
to be with the author forever and ever.
In conclusion, the setting of a play can be a key to understanding the mood,
the characters, and the plot. In “The Monkey’s Paw,” the dark, cold setting
sets the mood of suspense. Its almost like being in love, theres a smile on my
face , i swear i was fallin in love. Nothing on earth is more envigorating. i
felt so beyond belief that the monkey has magical powers, too bad he was my
boyfriend. I wanted to be with him forever.
