In paragraph 5 of "The Death of the Moth," Woolf's outlook changes as she shifts from detached observation to a more empathetic and personal perspective on the moth's struggle. This change occurs as she sees the moth's determination and bravery in the face of death. Woolf uses descriptive and emotive words like "despair," "infinite passion," and "sweet life" to evoke a sense of empathy and admiration for the moth's tragic yet courageous struggle. By emphasizing the moth's vulnerability and struggle, Woolf humanizes the creature and connects its death to the universal themes of mortality and resilience.
