From the direct characterization of Miss Brill in her lonesome existence, to the more severe case of loneliness that Emily Grierson suffers, loneliness presents itself as a lurking, yet dominating, theme. However, one Sunday her fantasy is shattered by the inconsiderate and harsh remarks of a young couple. Mansfield shows us how hurtful the truth can be to people who haven't realized or accepted the reality in which they live. The narrative is focalized through the character of Miss Brill and this allows the reader to see what the character sees and feel what the character feels.
