Summary

n this hauntingly poetic essay, Virginia Woolf captures the fragile beauty of life and death through the simple image of a moth struggling in the light. As she reflects on the inevitability of mortality and the quiet force of nature, Woolf's sharp, introspective prose invites readers to confront their own fleeting existence.
The Death of the Moth is a meditation on life's transience, a masterclass in Woolf's ability to turn ordinary moments into profound reflections on human vulnerability.
