Based on the following excerpt, in what way does the fur piece serve as a contextual symbol for Miss Brill in Katherine Mansfiel

d’s short story “Miss Brill”?
Excerpt
Just at that moment a boy and girl came and sat down where the old couple had been. They were beautifully dressed; they were in love. The hero and heroine, of course, just arrived from his father's yacht. And still soundlessly singing, still with that trembling smile, Miss Brill prepared to listen.

"No, not now," said the girl. "Not here, I can't."

"But why? Because of that stupid old thing at the end there?" asked the boy. "Why does she come here at all—who wants her? Why doesn't she keep her silly old mug at home?"

"It's her fu-ur which is so funny," giggled the girl. "It's exactly like a fried whiting*."

"Ah, be off with you!" said the boy in an angry whisper. Then: "Tell me, ma petite chère–"

"No, not here," said the girl. "Not yet."

*whiting: a kind of fish

Answers
1.) The girl's ridicule of Miss Brill's fur piece is symbolic of the way Miss Brill chooses to not be a part of society.
2.) The girl's comparison of the fur piece to fried fish symbolizes Miss Brill's "fried" or depressed state of mind.
3.) Because the fur piece is a dead animal that is likened to a fish, it becomes a symbol that negatively reflects Miss Brill.
4.) Because the boy and girl can’t understand why someone would wear fur, it shows that others have a difficult time relating to Miss Brill.

I never imagined that we would live in a moment like this, where we find ourselves totally defenseless, against an invisible and very dangerous threat. Six months ago our life was different, we could meet our friends, get out of the case, go to parties, cinemas, in short; we were free. At that time I had difficulties in seeing the privilege of freedom and happiness, but the last two months have made me a changed human being.

I had a hard time finding happiness in the small things in life. Always expect to feel the general concept of happiness, which is something very difficult to achieve and that's why I always felt unhappy, because I didn't have, like most people, complete happiness. However, with the arrival of the coronavirus, we saw our lives threatened, our routines changed and our liberties limited, since in the name of our health, we should stay at home.

This period allowed me to rethink my own concepts, I was able to change terrible opinions that I didn't have time to reflect because of the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Those two months changed my perception of the world and of myself. I hope that this reflexive moment that my life took turns me, really, into a better human being, more conscious and rational, so that when our lives return to normal, I can be someone who makes positive differences in the lives of everyone around me.

The best answer for this question would be:

The story does not revolve around the oppression of women but instead it centers on how people have connections with another person and how they are interacting with their environment addings tensions of human emotions.
