What I took away from the discussion with Miss Brill was that for some people, it’s difficult for them to connect with others. Sometimes, they’re not entirely comfortable with the situation that they’re placed in, therefore they have to use other methods to connect. For example, Miss Brill’s a character who visits the park as a weekly routine, she does this so she can surround herself with other people. On some precognitive level, she’s doing this to relate to them, because she knows she’s afraid to do it directly. Why else would she just sit down and observe? She just has this desire to be with people, but in her own way. While it might seem invasive or bizzare for the people she’s observing, it’s not like she means to hurt them in any shape or form. People can’t judge others just because they have a difficult time trying to connect with others.
