(A)

The choice of narrator totally affects the characterization available.

The narration can be done in first or third person, so we can classify the narrators as narrator in 1st person and narrator in 3rd person.

Narrator in first person is the character narrator. In addition to telling the story in the first person, it is part of it, and is therefore called a character. It is marked by subjective characteristics, opinions in relation to the events that occurred, and thus a partial narrative, since no other angle of vision can be seen.

The third-person narrator is the omniscient  narrator or the observer narrator.

The omniscient  narrator is the one who knows everything. There are several types of omniscient narrator, but we can say that they are so called because they know all aspects of the story and its characters.

The observer narrator is what introduces history, but unlike the omniscient does not have the vision of everything, but only from an angle. He behaves like a witness to the facts reported, but he is not part of any of them, and his only attitude is to reproduce the actions he sees from his angle of vision.

yes yes it does !

"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.
