In Katherine Mansfield's short story "Miss Brill," the narrator's tone towards the protagonist is one of gentle mockery and gentle pity. The story is told from the third-person limited point of view, with the narrator focusing on Miss Brill's thoughts and observations as she spends a Sunday afternoon at the Jardins Publiques.
Miss Brill is a lonely, elderly woman who spends her Sunday afternoons listening to the band play and observing the people around her. She is particularly drawn to a couple who sit on a bench and seem to be having a heated argument. Miss Brill imagines their lives and conversations, and begins to feel a sense of belonging and purpose as she becomes an "invisible spectator" at the park.
However, as the day goes on, Miss Brill's optimism and imagination are shattered when the couple on the bench rudely dismiss her as an eavesdropper. Miss Brill is hurt and humiliated by their words, and the narrator's tone towards her becomes one of gentle pity as she retreats back to her empty apartment, feeling "tired and a little cold."
Despite the gentle mockery and pity in the narrator's tone, there is also a sense of understanding and sympathy towards Miss Brill's loneliness and longing for connection. The narrator does not judge Miss Brill for her fantasies and imagination, but rather portrays them as a coping mechanism for her isolation and lack of purpose in life.
In conclusion, the narrator's tone towards Miss Brill in Katherine Mansfield's "Miss Brill" is one of gentle mockery and gentle pity, as well as understanding and sympathy for her loneliness and longing for connection.
