Death of a Moth

Use metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, irony, and syntax to comment on Woolfe’s strategies, purposes, and style.
The metaphor of the piece is the moth for the people of pure life who don't know what's coming. Moth's are blind to teh dangers that are ahead of them. It is ironic that the moth's are so beautiful and pure of life, according to the author, and then it dies. So the fact that it is pure energy/life and then dies so it was ironic. The syntax of Woolf is long and eloquent just like the moth. The syntax is graceful, but confusing in language just as a moth is.
