Miss Brill - Climax

"But to-day she passed the baker's by, climbed the stairs, went into the little dark room–her room like a cupboard–and sat down on the red eiderdown. She sat there for a long time. The box that the fur came out of was on the bed. She unclasped the necklet quickly; quickly, without looking, laid it inside." - Katherine Mansfield 

This passage is the climax of the short story, Miss Brill. During the story, Miss Brill just wants to be accepted by her community. It's clear that she is not originally from the  town she's currently living in. After her weekly trip to the park to listen to music and attempt to socialize, she usually gets a pastry and hopes for an almond. After hearing a couple who was obviously young and in love make fun of her, which was what she desperately wanted to avoid, she was heartbroken. That's why she skipped her trip to the baker's. The resolution - which I've learned does not mean everything is solved or happy - comes shortly after. Miss Brill takes off her fur; the fur was the only thing connecting her to her peers in the park. When she took of the fur, she came to the realization that she would never fit into that community. No matter what she wore or where she went, she would be the English teacher living in a foreign land.
