**need to cut down quote**
Woolf describes watching the moth struggle against death. Also, Woolf talks about the power of death.

"It was useless to try to do anything. One could only watch the extraordinary efforts made by those tiny legs against an oncoming doom which could, had it chosen, have submerged an entire city, not merely a city, but masses of human beings; nothing, I knew, had any chance against death. Nevertheless after a pause of exhaustion the legs fluttered again. It was a superb this last protest..."

The reader realizes that death is inescapable to all creatures. As Woolf describes the moth's fruitless struggle to carry out lengthen its life, the reader understands that fighting against his or her own end results in defeat, just as the moth's fight did.

"O yes, he seemed to say, death is stronger than I am."
Death of a Moth

Literature provides humanity a way to discuss and consequently humanize "the things of the world," specifically those things which we may not experience directly. While we, as humans, technically experience death, only through discussing it do we truly realize the graveness and finality of this event. As seen in The Death of a Moth, Frankenstein, and Life, discussing the fact that, although we try, we cannot overcome the limits of human existence and avoid our life's termination humanizes the concept of death.

In The Death of the Moth, Woolf uses a moth's uninevitable approach towards death as a metaphor to humans' own unavoidable demise.
