What is cause and effect for The Tell-Tale Heart and The Monkey's Paw?

Answer 1

The cause and effect for both stories are they both have characters that died. The Monkey's Paw the cause was when they wished for money and their son died and they got their wish for 200 pounds. The Tell-Tale Heart cause is the old man eye and lead him to kill the old man.

Answer 2

In "The Tell-Tale Heart," the cause is the narrator's obsession with the old man's eye, driving him to commit murder, while the effect is the narrator's guilt and paranoia ultimately leading to his confession. In "The Monkey's Paw," the cause is the family's wish on the cursed paw for money, resulting in tragic consequences as their wishes are granted but with unforeseen negative outcomes.
