Who Is To Blame For The Monkey's Paw

In Louis N. Parker's story, The Monkey's Paw, Mr. White is to blame for Herbert's death because he is nonchalant, impulsive and greedy. First, because of Mr. White's nonchalant personality he does not take Sergent-Majoy Morris's multiple warnings about the paw seriously. For example, Sergeant-Major Morris tells the family about the consequences of the monkey's paw and Mr. White does not listen. The Sergeant says, "If you keep it, don't blame me, whatever happens [...] But I warn you! I warn you!" (Parker 125). Thus, despite that the Sergeant gravely emphasizes how dangerous the paw is, Mr. White ignores his words and decides to continue using the paw.

Who was at fault for the consequences and wishes of the Monkey's Paw? In the short story Monkey's Paw, the whites were visited by a family friend one night by Sergeant-Major Morris when he also brought a monkey's paw. When he had given the monkeys to the whites, they used it as a way of greed for wealth which had caused consequences for them.

One of the reasons that Sergeant Major Morris is at fault for the bad wishes and consequences of the Monkey's paw, is how he decided to give the paw to the whites even when he knew it was bad luck.

Townsend and Pollock surround their work with life altering decisions made by their characters resulting in either the success or failure of their own development or those around them. “Behavior-outcome relations (contingency rules) represent the individual’s assessment of the likelihood that a particular behavior will be followed by a particular outcome (Knowles, McLean 154).
