In the story "The Monkey's Paw," Mr. White's wish seems to be more for himself than for his family. The evidence supporting this can be seen through his initial reluctance to make a wish, stating that he already has everything he wants. This suggests that his wish is unnecessary for the family's well-being. Furthermore, after making the wish, Mr. White's demeanor changes, as he becomes restless and anxious. He is solely focused on undoing the consequences of his wish rather than considering how it affects his family. This self-centered behavior indicates that his wish was more for personal gain rather than for the benefit of his family.
