The exposition of "The Monkey's Paw," a short story by W.W. Jacobs, introduces the White family—Mr. and Mrs. White and their son, Herbert—who live in a remote house. They are visited by Sergeant-Major Morris, a family friend who brings with him a mysterious monkey's paw that is said to grant three wishes but comes with a heavy warning about the consequences of tampering with fate. The story sets up an atmosphere of curiosity and foreboding as the Whites learn about the paw's dark history and its potential to fulfill their desires at a terrible cost.
