The Nose, Nikolai Gogol Arion Press edition of Gogol's famed short story. Yakovlevich, the unfortunate discoverer of Kovalev's nose in his bread, is described as having a coat in poor shape and filthy hands. This is vital for understanding this short story, since the main descriptors of all characters are their respective clothes. | The story is set in Petersburg in the early 19th century, a time when a rigid hierarchical status system is set in place. Both these men are of higher importance than him. He shivers in awe and fear when he thinks about the police man and is frightened of angering Yakovlevich by having 'stolen' his nose. (pause to read) | His name has faded on the sign outside his barbershop, which is symbolic for him being someone who fails to obtain a position in the Russian rank system as he is a man 'who lost his name'. ![]() #bsd #bungoustraydogs #nikolaigogol #thenose #analysis #literature“.Social status and masculinity in "The Nose" by Nikolai Gogol #bsd #bungoustraydogs #nikolaigogol #thenose #analysis #literatureĢ74 Likes,TikTok-Video von nikolailogog „Every shortstory I read, where the main symbol is a nose, is one too many. ![]() Every shortstory I read, where the main symbol is a nose, is one too many. ![]()
