Answer 1

The narrator comments on the contrast in Malétroit's expression and the calm silence he expressed.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• This makes Malétroit a complex, round, and stimulating character.
• The narrator has this perception when realizing that the calm silence that Malétroit conveyed was ironic and full of ulterior motives.
• That's because his expression wasn't calm and serene, but it was sinic and with a Machiavellian tone.

The narrator has difficulty interpreting Malétroit and this difficulty is what makes him such a difficult character.
