What are five elements of the story "The Monkey's Paw"?

"The Monkey's Paw" begins with an epigraph, a short saying at the beginning of a story, novel, play, poem, or chapter that suggests a theme later revealed in the work.  The epigraph of this story is “Be careful what you wish for, you may receive it.” 
In Part One, the story opens with contrasting imagery: outdoors, the weather is described as cold, windy, and rainy, but in the room where the woman knits and the father and son are playing chess, the room is warmed by a fire. 
The wife and husband in the story are archetypes of a long-married couple; the wife is emotional and controlling, and the husband does the wife's bidding, even when he doesn't want to. 
There is irony to be found in Herbert's words when he tell his father "Well don’t break into the money before I come back."  Mr. White has asked for two hundred pounds, and the irony is that the son comes very close to coming back--but doesn't--and not in the way the reader might expect. The money comes to the Whites, but as a death settlement when Herbert is killed at work. 
The author utilizes suspense throughout the story; once the monkey's paw is in the Whites' home, the reader understands that it is just a matter of time before they will begin to receive their three wishes.  The suspense is at its peak when there is a persistent knocking at the door and Mrs. White struggles to unlock it to let in what she believes will be her son, back from the dead.
