Mr. White’s character in this story appears to be rather strange and totally weird. As I read the story, I found it difficult to understand Mr. White and I could understand why he came across and different. When Herbert died Mr. White wanted to revive his son with the monkey’s paw.

Mr. White knows that Herbert was mangled beyond recognition and his body has been rotting for those ten days. Mr.
White uses his second wish to ask for his son to be brought back to life. I thought he was going to be greedy with his wishes but he was afraid of what his son was going to come back as since he knows it can’t be
