Question

Answer 1

Answer 2

The climax in the story "The Monkey's Paw" occurs at the end of the story when there's a knock on the door.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The Monkey's Paw" is a short supernatural story by W. W. Jacobs. This story was first published in 1902, and later in the collection "The Lady Of The Barge" in 1911. The climax in "The Monkey's Paw" occurs when Mr. and Mrs. White hears the knock on the door, at the end of the story. We see Mrs. White wishing their son, Herbert, to return to the family while Mr. White is in fear that some worst sort of abomination might enter their home. This moment creates a climax in the story because as a reader we do not know what will happen next in the story, whether disfigured Herbert will enter the house and kill everyone, or will Mr. white find a find to stop Herbert from killing. The situation is tense for both the people in the room and the readers as well.
