Miss Brill

Miss Brill is an old woman who thinks she's a very important "actor" in the "play" of her life. In actuality, Miss Brill is actually an immature, judgemental old woman who nobody even wants around. The way she criticizes the people that walk by her is actually her criticizing herself, only she doesn't realize it, therefore she misses her epiphany. She judges people in the public garden every Sunday until she overhears herself being criticized. Miss Brill takes this very badly and acts like a child, without any of the maturity one would expect from an elderly english teacher. She goes home without getting any cake, which she did every time she passed the shop, and sulked in her cupboard of a room, just like a small child might do. Though Miss Brill may believe she's an important actor in people's lives, she is nothing more than an insignificant toddler and will probably never have her epiphany.
