Published in September 1902, “The Monkey’s Paw,” written by WW Jacobs, used a variety of literary elements to convey horror, suspense, and tension throughout the story. The story is a mystical tale of three different people granted three different wishes by a cursed monkey’s paw. The use of foreshadowing pulled the reader into the dark and cold night when Sergeant Major-Morris visits the White’s home, and told them of the tale of the monkey’s paw and tries to destroy it by throwing it into the fire. Mr. White retrieved the paw and kept it for his own personal use. The use of the wishes from the paw came at a great cost to the family. In W. W.

“The orgastic future that year by year recedes before us” is the unattainable goal of those living in Tom and Daisy’s world—a world where lives are wasted chasing the unreachable (Fitzgerald 180).

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a significant example of the principle that powerful messages could not only be told, but also shown through by the setting. In the opening of chapter 4, it starts off at the bridge. Nick describes his scenery with approval. There’s a sense of beauty. It’s obvious that he’s taken in by what he sees, “in its first wild promise of all the mystery and beauty of the world”. It’s known from previous chapters, that when Fitzgerald mentions something beautiful, there is always a false undertone. He then mentions the funeral bringing the reader back to the idea that nothing beautiful last forever. The next scene in chapter 4 takes place at forty second street. Fitzgerald chooses the lunch between the two to
