"On her way home she usually bought a slice of honeycake at the baker's. It was her Sunday treat.... But today she passed the baker's by," -pg. 186
One of the questions asks if Miss Brill is a dynamic character or a static character. I believe she is a dynamic character because she does in deed change in the story. Or at least the ending implies that she changed or will soon. This quote shows how she decided to break her Sunday routine. As opposed to continuing her monotonous schedule every week, she got out of the habit, showing major growth in her character. Of course, it doesn't actually show her changing her life drastically, but it's a small start to growing out of the lonely, misfit personality that she has. Being an outcast is her main trait here, shown by her occupation as an English teacher in France (let's hope some other French-speaking country) and her love of music as it is a universal language; this turn-around shows that she's taking a step to become less of an outsider, proving she isn't a static character.
