I. Read the sonnet. Answer the questions below. I can't have you or leave you
I don't even know why, when I left you or when I had you,
there is an I don't know what to love you
and many yes I know what to forget you.

Well, you don't want to leave me or make amends,
I will temper my heart with luck that half is inclined to hate you Even if the other half is inclined to love you

If it is force to love us, there is a way, what is dying to always be quarreling:
no more talk in heat and suspicion,

and whoever gives half, does not want the whole; and when you're doing it for me, You know I'm doing the undone

"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.
