"Miss Brill" by Katherine Mansfield

Miss Brill is an elderly lady. She cannot cope with how her body has transformed into such an older woman. Miss Brill likes to think about where her life is heading in the sense that she goes through the same routine every single day. This is a sort of comfort zone for herself. She listens to other conversations because it gives her insight into the lives of other people. In some cases, lives of the young people that remind her of what her life used to be like before she began to turn old and gray. She likes to think that she is in play along with the rest of the people in her town. Maybe this signifies that she was once an actress of desired to be an actress during one point in her life.
