Protagonist: Katherine Mansfield

Conflict: Man vs Man— Miss Brill's reaction to the young people who make fun of her

Resolution: Miss. Brill's complete loss of hope.

But to-day she passed the baker's by, climbed the stairs, went into the little dark room her room like a cupboard— and sat down on the red eiderdown. She sat there for a long time. The box that the fur came out of was on the bed. She unclasped the necklet quickly; quickly, without looking, laid it inside. But when she put the lid on she thought she heard something crying.
