Answer to Question 1


  • Miss Brill lives frugally, alone in a small room, eking out a meager living by teaching English and reading the newspaper aloud to an invalid gentleman four afternoons a week. She seems happy with her lot even though her daily activities are drab by most standards and her pleasures are small ones. Her well-worn fur delights her, and an almond in the Sunday honey-cake is cause for rejoicing.



Answer to Question 2


  • Paul, intent upon stopping the whispers in the house, anonymously gives his mother 5,000 pounds as a birthday present. Ironically, his gift has the opposite effect. The whispers grow louder. Given his mothers insatiable greed for money, this result comes as less of a surprise to the reader than to Paul.



There is irony in the storys title. Paul, the rocking-horse winner, loses his life.
