1 | Miss Brill | Katherine Mansfield |
Miss Brill is a poignant short story by Katherine Mansfield that explores themes of isolation and self-delusion through the experiences of its titular character.The narrative unfolds on a beautiful autumn Sunday in a French public park, where Miss Brill, a middle-aged English woman, enjoys her weekly ritual of people-watching while wearing her cherished but shabby fur stole. This fur, which she affectionately treats as a companion, symbolizes her own faded vitality and loneliness. As she observes the lively interactions around her, Miss Brill imagines herself as an actress in a grand play, believing that her presence is integral to the unfolding drama of life. |
