In the late 1800s many writers had a fascination with nature. One such writer was Virginia Woolf who chose to base her essay “The Death of the Moth” on the eternal struggle between life and death for the titular creature. This essay while giving off the façade that death is a simple matter, proves it to be a complex tribulation even for a creature as insignificant as the moth. Although the title gives the illusion that the essay will focus of the death of the insect, the speaker allows an introspective into its life allowing the reader to establish a connection with the animal that would in any other situation be considered as meaningless as stepping on an ant while walking down the street. The essay starts by describing the moth by saying, “They are hybrid creatures, neither gay like butterflies nor sombre like their own species.” The speaker says this to make it clear to the reader the moth she was about to describe was neither to be grouped with the rest of its melancholic species nor to be grouped with the butterfly, a far more cheerful species.
