Miss Brill solemnly walks home, passing up things that she used to look forward to. She sits on her bed, puts the fur back in its box, and thinks she hears something crying. The fur is symbolic of something old and lonely that has lost its beauty over the years.
The fur is not crying...Miss Brill is. The fantasy is over and the truth must now sink in.
Finally, it is worth to say that "Miss Brill" is offered as a women with no social significant and is shown to be rejected by the society she continually attempts to play a crucial "role" in. however Katherine has given her this
deflated status as a projection of her marital status, she is a spinster and thus it can be suggested that without a male counterpart, women in society hold no social significance.
