In "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs, Mr. White's final wish is most likely for the return of his son, Herbert, who died as a result of the paw's first wish. However, this wish is driven by despair and a longing for his lost son, knowing that the consequences of such a wish could be horrific. Ultimately, when he realizes the potential terror that could accompany Herbert's return, Mr. White's desperation leads him to make a final, ambiguous wish to undo the previous one, emphasizing the story's themes of loss and the dangers of tampering with fate.
