"Death of a Moth"

In my opinion the significance of Virginia's story was her feeling of helplessness in regards to death. She is watching a moth struggle to escape a window when all it has to do is simply fly out instead of up and around. The same applies to her, she is sitting at a window taking a deep look into her own life feeling cornered when she must simply press on rather than be content. The way she describes the rooks flying and the field being ready for plough leads me to think about new beginnings and the way the rooks fit together as one individual group. I feel as though she yearns to be apart of such an ornate group for strength and companionship and remembers what it was like to have that "new" outlook on life like a field ready for plough. The part where she thinks about helping the moth when it is on its back is a cry for help wishing that someone would reach out to her in this dark time in her life. Her descriptions paint a clear picture of what she is looking at outside the window and how the moth is struggling to get out of its ordeal.
