In "The Monkey's Paw," Herbert suggests that his father wish for two hundred pounds as a lighthearted and humorous way to illustrate the absurdity of the paw's power. He believes that the amount is a manageable sum that could lead to some financial relief without the extreme consequences associated with larger wishes. Herbert's suggestion also reflects the family's initial skepticism about the paw's abilities and the potential for misfortune, showcasing a blend of hope and irony.
