There is a parade of people and she almost acts as if she wants to be them in some sort of way. She is a lonely lady, hoping to meet a stranger, that she can call her own someday. Miss Brill was an observer, and enjoyed watching people. Almost as if she was a dreamer and wishing she had what others did. She is a lonely lady. A smart, intelligent woman. An english teacher who was anxious to share her experiences with her class. At the end of the story, it talks about how she was made fun of by a young couple. She left the park that day, feeling alone, sad, empty, as thought no one had a care for her in the world.
