In “the nose” by nickolai gogol, what evidence from the text suggest that kovaloff has not learned anything from the experience of losing his nose?

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.

nervous or scared i would say

hope this ! (if thats not it give me the answer choices)

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
