The Heart of the Text with a help of Stylistics

To create an appropriate mood in the text Jacobs used many sttylistic devices. Let's find and analyse them!
In order to portray the characters, to reveal the idea and to render the atmosphere of the passage the author resorts to the following devices:

• such graphic device as capitalization: ""THE PAW!" she cried wildly. "THE MONKEY'S PAW!"", ""WISH!" she cried in a strong voice.", ""WISH!" repeated his wife."", ""WHAT’S THAT?"cried the old woman, starting up." - were used to create tense scenes and to emphasize loudness of Mrs. White that may show her strict and commanding temper or the stress she gets;
• phonetic devices: onomatopoeia: "Tut, tut!", "...a knock came" is used to put the reader closer to the personages as if being one of them; alliteration :"...the blinds were drawn and the fire burned brightly." ia to produce auditory image;
• such lexical stylistic devices are used: simile when Mrs. White states that the talk of the paw sounds like "Arabian nights"; simple metaphors "Path's a bog, and the road's a torrent", "monkey's paw" that symbolies the horror in the story; personification "monkey's paw moves like a "snake",
