In "The Waxworks" by A. M. Burrage, the protagonist Raymond Hewson is on a quest to make a great article about how he stays the night in the Murder's Den in Marriner's Waxworks. He wants to make this article because he is a free-lancing journalist, who works on space for several papers. He wants to make this article because he is in need of some money and a steady job for only one paper. He tries to stay in the Den but he feels like the wax statues are moving around and trying to kill him. He wants leave but he can't because he needs the money and the story.
I feel like his motivations for staying in the Den were wrong. If he needed the money or a good story then he could have done something he was more comfortable with. He has an overactive imagination and he could have just made up the story rather than putting himself through all the fear of staying in that room. I disapprove of his reasoning to stay in that room, and I were him then I would have left when I felt that uncomfortable and scared.
