Explanation:

In literature, antagonists are the character or character that opposes the main character usually by stopping the character from achieving a certain goal or creating the main conflict of the story. Because of this, the actions of the antagonist usually affect the actions of the main character and during the story, there is a struggle between the main character and the antagonist. However, not all the antagonist are necessarily evil or bad people because they can have good reasons to oppose the main character or the main character might even be the evil one. Therefore, the statement about antagonist that is not true is "They are all bad people".

the answer is:

apprehensive.

"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.
