This essay details my interpretation of Mark Doty's 'A Green Crab's Shell' and Marianne Moore's 'The Paper Nautilus' as similar expressions of preference for natural art over manmade. It discusses themes of existentialism, time, deterioration, and entrapment using underwater creatures as motifs. Please, read both poems - preferably before watching - as they are both gorgeous pieces of writing on their own.
