The characters of the monkey's Paw are: * Mr. White * Mrs.White * Sgt. Maj. Morris * Herbert * Rose * Mr. Haringtan * Sampson * Nura
His son, Herbert, gets caught in a machine. The outcome is his death. Afterwords, a wealthy-looking man shows up at the Whites' house, explaining that Herbert's employing company isn't held responsible for Herbert's death, but they can offer a payment of 200 pounds. ( English currency.)
In W.W. Jacobs' short story "The Monkey's Paw," the Whites receive the monkey's paw from Sergeant-Major Morris, a family friend who has returned from India. He introduces the paw as a magical object capable of granting three wishes but warns them of its dangerous consequences. Despite his warnings, the Whites are intrigued and ultimately decide to keep the paw, leading to tragic outcomes from their wishes.
Mr. White is the wife of Mrs. White and the father of Herbert. He is the main main character of "The Monkey Paw". He is the one who makes the wishes. Hope that helped?
Mr. Whites 200 pounds mortgage owing is important because it foreshadows the compensation the whites got for Herbert's death and it foreshadows Mr. Whites first wish.
