Archy In The Lesson Of The Moth
The cockroach Archy in the “Lesson of the Moth” has a certain opinion on the purpose of life. He believes in the poem that the purpose of life is to have some happiness, to live a long life, and to use your common sense. Through the poem Archy has a conversation with a moth and they tell each other about what they believe the purpose of life is. This showed that Archy’s prospective on life is very different from the moths. In the poem the lesson of the moth Archy the cockroach believes that one of the purposes of life is to have some happiness in it. For example, in paragraph five of the poem archy states “I would rather have half the happiness and twice the longevity”. This shows that archy still wants happiness but he does not want it as
much as the moth in the poem. This is also important because it shows one of the ways the author feels about the meaning and purpose of his life. Furthermore one of the ways archy feels about the meaning of life is that you should have some happiness. Another way archy the cockroach feels about the meaning of life is that you should live long. That same sentence that I stated above helps shows this. At the end of the sentence Archy states “and twice the longevity.” This is important because it shows that the Archy wishes to live a long happy life and not live a short but very exciting life. This is because Archy does not agree with the moth’s way of life and it helps you understand the poem more clearly. As a result of not agreeing with the moth’s philosophy Archy has decided that one of the purposes of life is to live long. The final opinion that Archy has on the purpose of life is to use your common sense. In the poem Archy asks the moth if he has common sense or not. This is because Archy is wondering why moths incinerate themselves. This is important because it shows the moth does have common sense but they don’t always use it. As a result Archy starts to understand the moths way of life. In conclusion, Archy believes that the meaning in life is being happy, living a long life, and to using your common sense. This causes Archy’s to disagree with the moth’s philosophy and meaning in life. But at the same time Archy wants to want something as much as the moth wants to be part of the beautiful.
