Question

Why does the story begin and end with reference to the fur? in Miss Brill
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Her Fur: Miss Brill's fur symbolizes her interior landscape. She begins the story by speaking to the fur as if it were a living thing. The fur symbolizes Miss Brill herself by the end of the story: she too returns to her small, dark apartment and recognizes that she is shabby and old.
