Miss Brill

Miss Brill is a developing character. This is so because of the great mood shift that takes place towards the end. We know she is sad because she passes by the bakery where she usually gets a slice of honey cake. It is tradition after her people watching at the park where a dance is being held. She justifies to herself that she is needed there but when the two snobby young people say mean things about her it gets to her. She begins to feel very sad although she seems to refer to herself in the third person. She is developing because she starts off happy and then realizes that she really is not wanted there. This realization makes her feel all the more alone.
