Explanation:

In "The Monkey's Paw," the story begins with a family in a domestic scene. This creates a feeling of warmth and peace. However, the tone quickly changes throughout the rest of the story. After the legend of the monkey's paw is retold by the major, all the characters become more afraid, and the suspense of the story increases, making the tale more sinister.
