Millicent Segree Character Analysis in A Brief History of Seven Killings

Millicent is the third and final fake identity assumed by Nina. A trainee nurse at Beth Israel hospital, Millicent attempts to conceal the fact that she is Jamaican. However, when a significant number of Ranking Dons come into the hospital with gunshot wounds, Millicent is overcome by curiosity and hovers around the emergency ward, hoping to learn information about what happened.
