"The Death of the Moth"

"The Death of the Moth" by Virginia Woolf explores the fragile struggle between life and death through the story of a moth caught in a window. The moth’s brief attempt to escape symbolizes the human instinct to fight for life despite its inevitable end. Woolf reflects on the moth’s quiet, determined effort, emphasizing the delicate beauty and resilience of life, even in the face of mortality. Ultimately, the moth’s surrender to death highlights the natural cycle and the universal truth that all living beings must eventually surrender to their inevitable end.
