“Miss Brill Realization”

Miss Brill is a middle age women who goes for Sunday ritual walks to parks. she usually sees old people in park who don’t communicate with each other, she likes to see people in park and think of it as she's watching a drama and all the people in it is acting and she wants to tell this old man “Yes, I have been an actress for a long time.” which doesn't make her feel lonely. She makes her own world of happiness and makes herself feel she’s noticed by people because she is also taking part in this drama that other people are playing, but she realizes her life isn't how she thinks of it when two young couple makes fun of her and her fur coat. She realizes that she’s back in reality; she runs back to her apartment without getting her honey-cake which she usually gets on her way back home and puts her fur back in the box and closes it.
