Miss Brill- Caracterization through the eyes of Miss Brill- Indirect

"Never mind, there was too much crowd to watch" (182, par. 5)

Miss Brill considered herself companions among the people around her, but she never actually talked to them. She only viewed these people from the the little time she saw them and generalized what they were like, with out knowing them at all. Others "stopped to talk, to greet", but Mill Brill was always alone, while in the middle of other people's lives. She viewed the old couple, stereotypically as boring and unworthier of her time, with out further knowledge into their lives. Ironically, she was older, and pretty boring herself. She had no one in her life but her fur that she often talks to. She likes the life that she has, but the way she critiques other suggests that she might just be critiquing her self. An example of this is when she calls the woman with yellow hair "shabby". She should realize that she should change the shabbiness in her own life, not writing other characters off.
