Does the mother believe in the Monkey’s Paw? Does she change her mind ?

The mother was first skeptical about the monkeys paw and sarcastic about it. Once she is in possession of the talisman she still treats it like a joke. After something supernatural happens with the paw the family starts to believe it, only to return to their original disbelief in the morning. By the end, when the wish of 200 pounds is granted in lieu of Herbert's death, and then the second wish seems to bring Herbert back to life, Mr. and Mrs. White both believe in the power of the paw, so much so that Mr. White uses his last wish to wish that Herbert returns to the dead.

i would like to compare these two interpretations of the crucible : 1) eric christ's interretation and wade bradford's interpretation. the main differences between there interretaions is that in the first one you can notice direct link to joseph mccarthy whereas the second one represents how the town is filled with hysteria.the second interpretation shows that author believes that the story   about puritan town in salem is based on actual events while the first example shows the sencible reference to sort of bias.

that you cannot mess with fate and love cannot be controlled
