Irony, Foreshadowing, Theme, and Conflict in “The Monkey’s Paw” Foreshadowing is a technique that authors use to drop hints or clues about what will happen later, thereby helping to build suspense and prepare readers for the outcome. Examples of Foreshadowing: 1. p. 143 - When Mr. White and Herbert are playing a game of chess, Mr. White puts his king into “sharp and unnecessary perils” and makes a “fatal mistake.” His reckless moves in the chess game foreshadow how Mr. White puts his family into a risky situation by buying the potentially destructive talisman and then makes a wish that causes a fatal mistake – his son’s death. 2. p. 147 – “His blotchy face whitened.” This quote shows that the sergeant is disturbed by the three wishes he had previously made on the monkey’s paw, which foreshadows the disturbed state the Whites are in after they make their three wishes. 3. p. 148 - “If you keep it, don’t blame me for what happens. Pitch it on the fire again, like a sensible man” and “…but I warn you of the consequences.” These warnings by the sergeant foreshadow that something bad will happen to the family if they use the monkey’s paw and then Herbert dies in a work accident after the first wish.
