Texte du Storyboard
- INTRODUCTION / EXPOSITION
- INCITING EVENT / CONFLICT
- RISING ACTION
- On a dark, cold night at the Laburnam Villa, the White family is awaiting a visitor. Mr. White and his son Herbert are playing chess while Mrs. White knits by the fire. Sergeant Major Morris arrives and regales the family with tales from his 21 years of traveling to vast and exotic places in his tenure as a soldier.
- CLIMAX
- To wish or not to wish? Mr. White reminds Morris of a story he was telling him recently regarding a strange monkey’s paw he acquired in India. It supposedly was bewitched by an old fakir to grant three separate men three wishes. Mr. White wants the paw, but Morris is reluctant, saying it causes trouble.
- FALLING ACTION
- Morris throws the paw into the fire and Mr. White rescues it. Mr. White makes his first wish: he wishes for a sum of two hundred pounds (£200). There’s a loud crashing noise and the paw moves. The next day, the Whites receive word that Herbert was caught in the machinery at work and killed. The company compensates the Whites with a check for £200.
- CONCLUSION / RESOLUTION
- The Whites are shaken by how their wish came true and filled with grief from losing their only son. Mrs. White persuades Mr. White to wish that Herbert was alive again. Mr. White finds the paw and makes the wish; all of a sudden, there is a quiet, persistent knocking at the door. Mrs. White tries to open the door. Mr. White searches for the paw and makes his third and final wish.
- The knocking stops and Mrs. White finally gets to the door unlocked. Mr. White eventually gathers the courage to come down the stairs to be with his wife.
- Once Mrs. White finally gets the door open, there is no one in the street.
