| Description |
This novel is my Bildungsroman. The main character is a moth A moth undergoes a transformation which sees it go from an earth-bound creature to a heavenward creature. After the transformation, a moth seeks out the sources of light. The relationship of a moth to light is very symbolic. The very thing that the moth loves most is the source of its demise, and yet, the moth cannot live without it. This symbolism signifies man's (and my) relationship with the higher powers that governs life. It is in trying to seek out meaning in life when man becomes despondent, and yet, without that meaning, life is useless anyways. Such a predicament is very similar to a moth seeking light. |
