Question
Answer
Evidence
What
nationality is she?
Miss Brill is English woman who lives alone in a small apartment in France.
"Miss Brill" is set in the "Jardins Publiques," the French term for "public garden," or park. Miss Brill, through her name and the indication that she tutors students in English, is revealed to be a non-native of France and, thus, an outsider from the start.
( p. 107 Line 1~3:
Although it was so brilliantly fine?the blue sky powdered with gold and great spots of light like white wine splashed over the Jardins Publiques?Miss Brill was glad that she had decided on her fur.

she supposed. And when she breathed, something light and sad?no, not sad, exactly?something gentle seemed to move in her bosom(p. 107 Line 6~18). By the way, the fur appears at Miss Brill’s room and the Jardins Publiques.
After you have figured out what the SYMBOL is, list two of its characteristics that relate to Miss Brill herself:
The fur symbolizes Ms. Brill`s inner view of herself. It is fragile, hidden away, untouched, and unique. It is also different, and a bit unapproachable. She is quite fond of her fur. In addition, the fur has two characteristics: pride and unordinary.
