Characteristics From Miss Brill
Katherine
Mansfield’s short short story “Miss Brill” is very interesting and clearly
displays the charateristics of Miss Brill.
The characterization of Miss Brill though the descriptive
language and dialogue “Miss Brill touched her fur. Dear little thing! It was
nice to feel it again” though represents her eccentric personality.
Miss Brill is optimistic which is shown in “On her way home
she usually bought a slice of honey cake at the baker’s.”
The attitude of Miss Brill represented in “She had become
really quite expert, she thought, at listening as though she didn’t listen, at
sitting in other people’s lives just for a minute while they talked round her”
displays she is eaves dropping.
At the end of the story “But when he put the lid on she
thought she heard something crying.” Miss Brill is shown as being fragile.
