Miss Brill

1) Describe the narration used in "Miss Brill"
Miss Brill has alot of different narration going on in it. There is limited narration because the narator does not seem to know that miss Brill is mentally not well. There is also retrospective narration because it is written to take place in the past and also unreliable narration because the narrator never clearify's that Miss Brill is crazy which would have helped the reader understand the story.

2) How reliable is the narration in "Miss Brill"? What are some clues that the actual events in the story are somewhat different than the narrator's version?
I would not say the narration in miss brill is overly reliable due to the fact that a major component of the story was left out. (the fact that she was crazy)The actaull events are different in the story because you can tell that some stuff doesnt not actaully make sence and you can tell that these are different then they woudl be in real life.
