Brutal Truth

Miss Brill is certainly a dynamic character. At the beginning she is a very static character becuase of how she has this routine of simply going to the park every sunday and doing the same things each time. However, there is an event that causes her to change. We are never directly told this as an audience that she has changed, but the detail at the end is what tells us that she does change. At the end of the short story, a boy and a girl are criticizing Miss Brill for always being there and wearing the fur coat. This is what causes her to change. What represents her seperating herself from her normal tradition is when she does not stop at the bakery to get her normal pastry. She walks past it and this symbolizes how she has changed and is therefore a static character.
