the first wish in “The Monkey’s Paw” as a joke, I disagree. The Whites are driven by greed and ambition, just as most people are. It may be that they do not fully believe that the paw will grant their wish, but they cannot prevent themselves from wishing. It is sort of like buying a lottery ticket knowing that you will almost surely not win, but being unable to forego the chance.
To show that this is the case, we can see at least two pieces of evidence from the story. First, when Sergeant Major Morris throws the paw on the fire, Mr. White cries out in astonishment and grabs it out of the fire. You do not reach into a fire to rescue something that you think is a joke.
