Question

based on "The Death of the Moth", written in 1942 by Virginia Woolf, summarize a change in Woolf's perception of the moth. How is this a significant change? Answer under 4 sentences

Answer 1

In the beginning of the essay, Woolf views the moth as insignificant and unimportant. However, as she observes its struggle to escape and the determination with which it fights for its life, she gradually develops a sense of sympathy and respect for the moth's tenacity. This change is significant because it leads Woolf to reflect on the fragility of life and the universal struggle against death.
