Paragraph 31

''He bit his lips in annoyance, left the coffee-house and decided not to smile or look at  anyone, which was not like him at all. Suddenly he stood rooted to the spot near the front  door of some house and witnessed a most incredible sight. A carriage drew up at the  entrance porch. The doors flew open and out jumped a uniformed, stooping gentleman  who dashed up the steps. The feeling of horror and amazement that gripped Kovalyov  when he recognized his own nose defies description! After this extraordinary sight  everything went topsy-turvy. He could hardly keep to his feet, but decided at all costs to  wait until the nose returned to the carriage, although he was shaking all over and felt  quite feverish.''

Answer: To show how people are taking themselves too seriously although they are the same as others

Explanation:  

In this paragraph, we can the main situation in ''The Nose'' by Nikolai Gogol and that is Kovalyov's nose loss which is showing a lot of irony and grotesque. He was terrified when he found out that his nose is walking freely on the streets but he was the most worried about what the other people will think about his loss.

  • With this irony, Gogol's purpose was to show readers how nonsense is the social position or title. He showed that most people are taking themselves too seriously because they are thinking that they are important in society but actually they are like everyone else.

This story is surreal but it is shown in the most realistic and detailed way.
