Question

In "The Nose" by Nikolai Gogol, what evidence from the text suggests that

Kovaloff has not learned anything from the experience of losing his nose

Answer 1

An excerpt from the text that suggests Kovaloff has not learned anything from his experience is: "He returned joyfully, and regarded with a satirical expression two officers who were in the shop, one of whom possessed a nose not much larger than a waistcoat button."

Here the character, a Major who lost his nose, is seen doing the same he did before his experience: joyfully shopping and mocking others, as though nothing happened. His personality is still arrogant and judgemental.

Explanation: sorry about question was the wrong button!
