Miss Brill

“No doubt somebody would have noticed if she hadn’t been there; she was part of the performance after all,”

Miss Brill does not fit in because she thinks she fits in. Make sense? She tries so hard to dress and act the part of a well liked French speaking person that she clearly stands out. She assumes that everyone thinks she fits in when really they think she's a bit ornate. In the process of trying to win over others, Mrs. Brill has lost herself. The theme is to avoid doing just that. By watching Miss Brill almost embarrass herself, one can learn that life is not about performing as what society would see as normal, or ones perception of normal. Just be yourself. Miss Brill tries so hard and it does not even work. Life is to short to pretend to be someone else. Be yourself and people will notice you because of your uniqueness. Try to blend in with what is expected, and no one will remember who you really are.
