What is the topic of this body paragraph ? “barnaby’s descriptions of felix paint him as a horrifying creature. he is massive and physically powerful, and his grey skin and disfigured face makes him hideous to behold. this ugliness makes him repulsive, and the fact that he is so large and strong makes him capable of causing a lot of damage, which adds to his scariness. felix’s eyes are the most terrifying aspect of his appearance, as described by the main character, gwendolen: “pure black eyes” that are completely surrounded by “gruesomely scarred flesh” (barnaby 2). if the eyes reflect the soul, then felix’s soul must be dark and empty, just like his eyes appear to be. not only arenhis pupils and irises black, but his entire eyeball is completely dark, which creates a frightening allearannthe mere sight of felix would strike fear into anyone, and fearsomeness is an essential quality for any villain.”

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
