This conflict was the thought of Miss Brill that everything around her were just a play and that even her self was part of the stage show where is currently at. Oh, how fascinating it was! How she enjoyed it! How she loved sitting here, watching it all! It was like a play. It was exactly like a play. Who could believe the sky at the back wasn't painted?

The detailed mentioned above only showed how at first Miss Brill thought of everything as common events that she has been seeing in her Sunday habit of spending time outside her home and watching things and people around her.

Miss Brill had the idea that everything was really a stage show when she saw a dog that trotted and acted like a dog in a real show. From there, the interesting thought that everything was a show conflicted with the reality that was being narrated and revealed by the author at the first half of the story about the things happening around Miss Brill. This was indicated in the following part of the story.

But it wasn't till a little brown dog trotted on solemn and then slowly trotted off, like a little "theatre" dog, a little dog that had been drugged, that Miss Brill discovered what it was [Page 187] that made it so exciting. They were all on stage. They weren't only the audience, not only looking on; they were acting.

Even she had a part and came every Sunday.

Such conflict made the story interesting because the same event in Miss Brill's Sunday habit is in fact a kind of reality in our life. Sometimes, we also wonder the same as how Miss Brill wondered about the events around her. Based from my experience, the same thought intrigued me more after I watched the movie "The Truman Show." Questions such as "What makes me do what I do now?," or the fascination...

In the part of Miss Brill, after realizing that everything could have been just a stage show, the author indicated the following.
How strange she'd never thought of it like that before! And yet it explained why she made such point of starting from home at just the same time each week-so as not to be late for the performance -- and it also explained why she had a queer, shy feeling at telling her English pupils how she spent her Sunday afternoons.

Another conflicting part of the story that is against the way the story was narrated at the first part (i.e. As an ordinary day being described) can be found at the end of the story where the fur was placed back in the box where it was taken from. This is another interesting part that contributed to the story's meaning because it diverted from reality into fiction. Who in reality would think that the fur is crying after it has been returned in the box? It was only in plays, shows, and movies where such thing is being made a reality. Hence, at the last part of the story, the author somehow can make a reader think twice. Is the story of Miss Brill just a story of actors and actresses of a show? Or is it about a person who is wondering about the strange things and wonders that life may secretly have.

As a conclusion, life is really a ball of miracles and secrets. Who has the knowledge of everything may be unknown to us. All that we depend on are our own beliefs, such as our belief in God. Whether we all exist as actors and actresses, or as individuals spending the life that has been given to us, all of us have to do our best and play our best in life just like how actors and actresses should play their roles well.
