Determine the degree to which Daisy is responsible for her own fate. Do you think the way society treated her was justified in any way? If Daisy is partially to blame for what happened to her, what would you say was her biggest crime? Is it dangerous to blame the victim when something tragic happens after a person behaves recklessly? Your answer should be at least 250 words.

In Victorian era, women were often held to an extremely high standard of marriage and morality. As an American, Daisy resented being held to these Eropean standards and flatly refused to adhere to them. She was often warned that failure to come under these rules on European society would stain her reputation, but still she refused. Her behavior around men was that of a flirtatious teenager. Whether it was with Winterbourne or Mr. Giovanelli, she seen unable or unwilling to show the dignity expected of an unmarried women. This continued dis respect for what people considered common decency cause her to be the talk of much gossip. It also placed her in the location of the Roman colosseum where it was known to be a place of contagion for "Roman Fever." This lack of concern and impetuous decision would cost Daisy her life.

Was society to blame? No, she moved forward with her eyes wide-open. She would not heed sound advice offered her by wise counsel. Though Daisy disregarded their instruction, she should not have done so off-hand. It was her responsibility to weigh each word with the gravity it deserved. This she utterly failed to do. So, her calamity was of her own making, due to a reckless nature.

What about blaming the victim? Lessons need to be taught from such reckless behavior that others might learn not to follow this same course. Some might see this as "blaming the victim," but rather, it should be viewed as aiding the living and learning from others mistakes.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
