Based on the following excerpt, in what way does the fur piece serve as a contextual symbol for Miss Brill in Katherine Mansfield’s short story “Miss Brill”?

Hi there!

I believe the answer you are looking for is The boy and the girl can’t seem to understand how anyone could wear fur. It shows that others have a difficult time relating to Mrs. bill.

In 'Miss Brill,' Katherine Mansfield uses symbols to subtly build and explore the conflict of the title character, for example, the fur. Its owner's inability to interact with anyone in the society is symbolized with the dead eyes of the fur wrapper.

Hope this helps!
